My trusty .30-06

[Sako Finnbear]

As a right-handed person who shoots left because of a defective right eye, finding bolt actions I like chambered in 30-06 is fortunately never a problem. It's one of the common calibers that lefties (and involuntary southpaws like myself) have as a popular choice from multiple manufacturers. That's why I own three of them. Such a great all-around cartridge!

Remington 700 BDL, Timney trigger, Nikon 1.5-6x42

Sako 85 Hunter, Schmidt & Bender 1.5-8x42 Stratos

Steyr CL II w/ fixed sights & a Swarovski Z6 1.7-10x42

Beautiful rifles, great caliber!

There are a number of newer cartridges that better the ballistics and terminal performance of the ancient 30-06!

You know it’s just hard to beat a 30-06 especially in Sako!

Great cartridge, great rifle...

Beautiful rifle.

30-06 is the only rifle I’ll ever need. I have a lot more I like but an ’06 will be the last one left in my safe when all the others are gone.

The 30-06 will always hold a special place in my safe!

I've owned many over the years but I suspect these two will be with me til the end.

Absolutely, same here. .30-06 can handle everything in the northern hemisphere, and a lot in the southern...
