Ok I’m not the best, smartest or most experienced shooter/hunter. I may be in the top ten of people I know well enough to know their skill set. Most likely the top 25, sadly I only know twenty-six people.
Jokes aside I know one thing for certain 30-06 is a great cartridge terminal ballistics are devastating. I’ve cleaned plenty of dear shot with it. The second thing for certain is I own one and already stock ammo. And third so do so many people which makes collecting spare brass for reloading even easier.
So my caliber is chosen, it’s gonna be a bolt gun, and my intentions are to shoot heavy wind bucking bullets at deer, elk, hog, sheep and anything else I’m blessed enough to get the opportunity.
What is not decided is action (rem, savage, Sako, tikka), barrel (length, twist, brand), build or buy, and stock.
I like the idea of building it myself, but if I could buy a tikka or nicer auctioned gun set up to shoot heavy bullets from a heavy profiled barrel (I like poking holes in targets too) just buying one wouldn’t be a let down.
One more twist to the tail: I’m a left eye dominant southpaw so we are talking lefthand actions.
