    Old Fud shoots 30-06

    Can’t trust a man that don’t like bacon. Same for the 30-06.

    There is no animal that is tougher than any other.

    Sounds like the study of ballistics ( particularly terminal) which each shooter figures out for themselves-lol. 😂

    Is There Ever a Time to Hunt with Magnum Calibers?

    Not sure what you mean. I’ve been shooting for 50 years with a reasonably nice firearms collection. Reading what others post on forums with an occasional comment is not trolling . And if it is I could give a shit less. I don’t start threads and occasionally react to a comment . I continue to...

    30mm scopes. What am I missing?

    I never quite get the skill to shoot concept. It’s shooting which I find somewhat easy. If the rifle has ammo that shoots .50moa then I will shoot .50 MOA. And most others will do the same with nominal practice. Otherwise it’s just math with atmospherics as variables.

    JVB Fires Back.... Again sheesh

    Haven’t read it but I will. Nathan Foster is no slouch in my opinion. He’s an accomplished rifleman and quite thorough in his writings. IMO

    Is There Ever a Time to Hunt with Magnum Calibers?

    Magnums will be what they always have been. You get more energy further out.

    What caliber to add?

    .22lr and or a shotgun. You are covered already unless you want to jump above small bore. 6mm or 6.5mm maybe. So many cartridges to play with. How about the new military round ?

    Dealer trying to talk me out of a SAKO 90 WHY?

    There are good American made rifles and it pains me to not always buy American. But I’ve had much better luck with foreign firearms than American. I’ve often had issues with American made. Same with my trucks. Would always buy Ford. Always in the dealer with issues. So now now I buy Japanese...

    Dealer trying to talk me out of a SAKO 90 WHY?

    Certainly post a picture. I’m considering the Hunter if they don’t get out the Bavarian in smaller calibers yet. Good luck - hope all is well with your new purchase. 30-06 is perfect for that rifle.

    Dealer trying to talk me out of a SAKO 90 WHY?

    I started off with my grandfather’s 30-06 Mannlicher Schoenauer. It’s given me an appreciation for some foreign made factory deluxe rifles. Don’t get me wrong, they have been afflicted by bean counters too ; but seem to have an edge on American made quality. Although until I eventually add a...

    Dealer trying to talk me out of a SAKO 90 WHY?

    Hmmm. You got me curious. I’m hot to buy a Bavarian or a Hunter. For the money ($2250 range- with opti lock)they are a good value. But not if you’re unlucky to get a poor run of rifles. Then you may be buying a headache. However, Sako had a good reputation with the previous 85s for a factory...

    Sako 90 quest

    Sorry I can’t give you a first hand account. But I can say they increased a rifle’s price point by nearly $2000 because they integrated a picattiny mount on the receiver, double plunger ejectors,cut back ejection port, adjustable trigger weight pull(nice feature), and GRS stock. A good stock...

    How do you get your elk racks back home in your truck bed? Tips / Pics appreciated.

    Great way to make your point. I love it. You’d certainly give any purist a run for their money.

    What kind of truck do you use?

    Used to have full size bed. Went down to a 6.5. I can’t imagine any smaller would be better. But I have friends that use the smaller bed and manage whthey need to.

    What's the most valuable thing you have found hunting?

    I’ve found balance each and every time that I’ve gone out and blended with nature. Also, the grim reminder that some hunters leave their trash behind where MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP IT !!! Carry your garbage out with you !

    What’s the most valuable thing you’ve lost?

    Bachelorhood. Marriage can suck some of the life out of a man’s freedom. Don’t grow up/ it’s a trap !!! Apparently I never did. I’m 63 and still talking marriage smack😂

    The downside of lightweight magnums

    I bought two lightweight magnums to see what all the fuss was about. Less weight easier when hiking hills. Otherwise, I’m not impressed. It’s somewhat novel, but a heavier rifle just feels more fitting for the job at hand. Still, I love them like I love every firearm I own. Below are two...
