A couple of years ago my Dad gave me his old 30-06 that he won in a competition at work in 1964, back when they really knew how to reward employees. He's a lefty so went with a semi rather than a bolt action.

Today I stumbled upon some ammo that looks fitting for it.

I know some of you guys like the old ammo boxes, so enjoy. :)
 
I have used that same ammo in a lot if different g and caliber over the years. Never let me down once. Enjoy
 
I have a recovered bullet from a very heavy-bodied muley, shot in the Salmon Arm area in 1962.
It is a 180 grain KKSP shot from a fully sporterized M17 30-06. The bullet would be a perfect advertisement
For Dominion ammo. It is an excellent example of perfect performance. Classic "mushroom" shape, and still
weighs 142 grains. This was high quality ammo until Valcartier Industries took over. D.
 
I still have a modest stash of the older 30-06 220gr KKSP ammo kicking around here, the CIL made stuff as in those boxes of yours. I was also lucky enough to pick up 300+ 180 gr KKSP bullets in 303 caliber from a fella here on the EE as well.
Back when I was much,much younger practically the only ammunition we ever saw around our household was CIL made for every gun we used, rimfire, shotgun and centerfire rifle. Pretty good in my humble opinion.
 
You have a good basis for a Fudd-tastic hunting experience, however:

- where's the see-through rings to allow for a solid chin-weld and close up shots in the dense bush?
- you need a compass inset in the buttstock to know where you are, especially after a few brewskies;
- no hunting scene carved into the stock to personalize it?
- I don't see your SIN etched into the receiver. If you lose it, or it's stolen you're screwed;
- maybe it's not pictured, but you'll need a leather cartridge holder cinched onto the buttstock so that you can quickly reload and continue your "Hail Mary" shots as the buck disapears over the distant ridge.

P.S. 180 is way to light for the '06. 220 gr is a good starting point...
 
Andy,
I suspect you didn't notice the Weaver pivot mount which allows one to get that pesky scope out of the way when conditions warrant. The SIN is probably on a piece of paper under the butt plate.
I think it's a pretty nice classic 1960's outfit.

Yep, and the really good part is those pivot rings really worked. Still do!

I have won a few coffee bets demonstrating how well they maintain zero by swing the scope over and back between shots.

The real test is shoot a target with the scope, the swing over and fire once to subject the rings to recoil, swing scope back onto bases and fire another on target, swing off and fire again, swing back onto bases and fire another on target.

The three shots on target amazes most guys who watch the demonstreation.

Have also done the same test removing standard Weaver rings from bases between shots, with same results.

A fellow who lived on Adams Lake had a special order Weatherby MkV (300 Wby) which had Williams sights and Weaver pivot mounts from the factory. It worked just fine too. The pivot mounts could loosen up with a lot of use but were able to be tightened with no trouble.
 
Would that be a 740 remington? Curious if it had the issues they were reputed for or if it worked fairly reliably?
 
I got two boxes of Dominion 270 cartridges with 160 grain bullets in them at the last two-day gun show in Chilliwack. Looking forward to seeing how they fare in my rifle.
