Zack I love my 30-06.  I have it sighted in for 300 yards and get 3" groups with it at that range.  I use it for shooting out to 600 yards, 700 if the target is standing still.  I miss a lot of the 700 yards shots, and some of the 600 yard ones.  But 400 and 500 yards seldom miss.  The fur goes on the streatcher.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

I too liked my .30-06 Handi.  Never shot it as far as Sourdough, but then I can't see that far through the rain!   :grin:

Seriously, I have shot a fair number of .30-06 rifles, and the NEF is the nicest to shoot I have ever had (other than my issue M1, but that was long ago in a different part of the world).

Where you been, Zach?

I like my 30-06. Shot my last 4 deer with it. I don't shoot long range with it and am happy with hunting accuracy. Mine shoots 150 grain Winchester Powerpoints well and I don't reload.

Great caliber, great Handi barrel. Can't go wrong with an -06 in my book.
And add my name to the list of satisfied -06 owners here..very satisfied.

Zach:

I don't know how they will do out of your new 30-06..but the 150 grain Federal Fusion ammo would give me sub 1/4" groups out of my Ultra-Comp barrel off a rest...if you can find some of it in your area..I'm quite sure it will do a good job for you..

Best single cal for ammo and shooting in my life. Nothing has come close to the durability of the 06 in my life!
