Looking for a 3006 Winchester

Frontier Firearms (check banners at the top) has a new Howa in 30-06 for $419, can't go wrong with that!
 
Why on earth would you want a 102 year old cartridge when there are so many new ballistic clones that do the job so much better than that dinosaur. They kill better, kick less, shoot flatter, let more air in, let more blood out, whack harder and do it all in the uber superiour short action! :D

Any suggestions?? This is for my boyfriend who is a first time hunter, 6 '1' 225 Lb.


I've got a 260 Remington model 7 that's perfect for my frame, don't like too much kick.

Uh-oh, there you go and try to make this thread serious.

Haul him down to Wholesale and try a few for fit. Don't plan on buying right away, if you buy used and he doesn't like it chances are he can sell it again for the same money or close to it.

With new you take a hit everytime.

The Tikka is hard to beat for value.....give Canadian Tire on south McLeod Trail a try. Their prices and service are hard to beat. .30-06 is a great choice for anything that calls Alberta home.

There is no way a first time hunter should go buy a brand new gun. Set him up with a lightly used one and when his preferences change he won't be out any money when he goes to sell it. Unless he has alot of experience with rifles just playing at the range then fine. If not we are running the risk of wasting his money, just my opinion of course. ;)

Not many used rifles around for the price of a new Tikka or Savage.......at least not many that shoot as well and if you ever decide to sell them, you won't lose more than a few bucks. The way they shoot though, I can't see ever selling one....lol
