this is off the Canadian gun auction site. it is for a 1955 garand.. the last sentence is the gem =D

Italian made in 1955 for Danish Army with Winchester tooling . This rifle in top service condition (battle ready) was maintained by Danish Armory until 1990 when replaced with M-16.
This rifle has a Throat Erosion reading of less than "2" and a good muzzle with very strong rifling . It was either recently replaced by the armory or almost never fired.
It is chambered in 30 '06 , semi-automatic with an eight round clip .
This gun makes a fine target rifle or hunting rifle for all big game in North America OR a great home defence weapon as it shoots through walls with ease as well as six inch trees.

Damn, I was interested in this rifle until the 6' tree remark. What I need is a rifle that will go through a 7' tree so I can do some logging.....:p

Some people I'm just not too sure about these days....

I'd be interested to know how he found this out.
Can I find it on YouTube?

There was a video made back in the day about all the WW2 weapons. I think it may have been for GI training. It is in black and white and goes through tactics and all the different weapons of WW2 and how they were to be employed.

If you watch the "TOP 10 Battlerifles" on Youtube, watch the M14 one. Briefly you will see a bucket of water being hit after a round goes through a tree. This infact isn't a .308 round. That is a small section of the clip from the training video showing the power of a Garand, and the .30-06.

In the training video it explains to the GIs that the .30 cal round can punch through 12" thick trees and still have enough force to wreck the bucket. They also show a clip where they punch through cinderblock walls.

Ill see if I can find the video, it was pretty interesting. Showing how many riflemen you'd want putting fire down, then replacing them with a BAR man and letting the riflemen move up and around....
 
I saw that video before my long range shooting trip up north.

All I can say is I may have personally verified the results in the video, but I will neither confirm nor deny doing them myself. :)
