Why The 30-06 Has Been rendered OBSOLETE

[Rubberhead]

Don't worry, we'll either rename the 30'06 as a Creedmore, or a Whelen, and if all else fails, put a magnum belt on it. It will be far more powerful then.

I've been calling it the .300-'06 (pronounced "three hundred ought-six") so the animals I kill won't suspect I'm using an obsolete cartridge.

A .30-06 is just a .300 Win Mag with the last 153 yards sawed off. It just means that a hunter with a .30-06 is 153 yards better than a hunter with a .300 Win Mag.

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

But none that kill any deader.

If you can't do it with a .30-06, then you can't do it!! Nuff Said!

longtime brown bear guide, phil shoemaker has this little line on his posts/credits:

"Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship."

i have to agree with the man.

I will help Phil with the proper grammar for that shining pearl of wisdom.

"Those who claim the 30-06 is not effective have either not used one, or else they are unwittingly commenting on their [lack of] marksmanship."

Pass it on to him with all due respect. Best to stay in the same tense in the same sentence.

Wonder how many pages this will generate?

I can’t believe that I clicked on this.

After careful consideration, I agree that the 30-06 is woefully inadequate for modern hunting.

Being the generous and Gentlemanly soul that I am, I've decided to offer 50 Bucks for any and all rifles so chambered.

I run a 30-06 rescue shelter in North Texas, so any unwanted rifles chambered in said caliber can be dropped off anytime day or night. ;-)

I liked this post a few days ago, but I keep getting reminders that folks are posting. A lot of the most recent posts have been awesome. But I keep scrolling up to yours‘cause it’s so f-ing funny!

Dude, I’m totally stealing your “.300-06” and the the “153yds. sawed off” line. Brilliant!

There seems to be a need. I'm currently offering shelter to 8 of them...
