FN action is super smooth
 
This is a great rifle, the FN action is second to none
 
I originally bought it to rebarrel as a 9.3x62, but life has gotten in the way of some project's, I agree it is a very solid gun as is, hard to beat the ole tried and true 30-06
 
It’s a boring cartridge because it just works. Nothing fancy, no special tricks. A little too big for most American game, debatably a little light for a few of the very largest American game. but it works.
 
The first rifle I ever purchased was a 30-06, I shot a few deer with it but weighing 120 lbs soaking wet and a being a longtime recoil sissy, I sold it to my brother, who still has it. I then bought the much sexier 25-06, still have that gun and it has killed most of the medium game I have shot and will probably hold that record till I am no longer.
 
If I did not have a 30-06 I would have bought this in a heartbeat. I would bet this caliber has the highest percentage of US NA hunters having at least one in their safes. Nice gun
 
Very nice. I own three 30.06s and I wish I could buy this one too lol
Good luck with the sale, it's definitely worth the asking price
 
That's a gorgeous and unique rifle. It's too bad I already have four 30-06's, but somebody is going to get a really nice rifle. Good look with the sale!
 
Yes, still for sale
 
Deer season is closing in, surely someone needs a new shootin iron?
 
There's a small shop up in Wisconsin that has one of these in 300 H&H. Been tempted by that one for the last couple months. These are awesome rifles, right up there with the Husqvarna Smith and Wesson that I've got. Always wanted to get one to have the matched pair one S&W, one Colt.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
