Really? Are you sure about that? Date stamps are easy.
Not sure why you are choosing this hill to die on.
There's not a one of us that would want for anything if all we had was a good 30-06 topped with a 3-9.
The trouble is that we gun nutz are also gun snobs and think we have a better plan than the aforementioned rifle/scope combo, but in the end we really don't.![]()
pathfinder76 - you need to get a front bumper winch for your Dad, if he is going to play game recovery games - I saw one used by little, older guy near Hudson Bay, Sask - his was on an Argo - would drive machine nose first to decent tree - stand on winch mount and attach a snatch block as high as he could reach up that tree. Winch line up through the snatch block, then strung out to the carcass - would skid animal and lift at same time - into back carry box - about minimal physical fussing with it, except to get that snatch block way up high.
I think if it came down to a vote, you would have a hard time knocking the 30-06 off the podium as the best do all cartridge for this continent anyway.
I’ve killed quite a bit with it the last couple of years (and I’ve used it over the years). It does a good job.
