Re: How to build an all purpose rifle

Lots of people (me earlier in life) can only afford one Hi Power rifle & scope, I still think the 30/06 is the one (308Win is still good) I just head shot any thing I wanted to eat, it did the trick

In the end I used 220gr Semi Spitzer NP on ever thing (Fallow to Samber), good to 300yds but most of my shots were under 150yds sort of mixed up now days with 50+ rifles, still grab the 30/06 most times as I'm playing too much with the 338/06 & 9.3X62 & never have the right load sighted or worked out !

Been using the Hornady Superperformance GMX 150gr at 3080fps & the GMX 165gr at 2940fps as I ended up with a few boxes from a hunter, I like it more than the Barnes X but need to test more yet !

My Winnie M70 is sighted in for the 165SST's @ 2,960fps and 180gr. SST's @ 2,745fps - both within in inch of each other and both making sub 3/4" groups.
With my other rifles I am constantly testing with various loads and thus, they are sighted for no specific ammo.

If I need a rifle that is sighted in, the '06 shines & is ready, no matter the game.
