i wish the 30-06 Winchester model 70 s.s. i own was more consistent with groups ,i realize most people would be happy with the groups that this rifle shoots and yes probably good enough ,but i have always been fussy with my own hunting rifles for accuracy.so once i get a new Brux barrel on this 30-06 / Winchester rifle i will do some stock work and this rifle will shoot much better than it did , i had a 22-250 that shot bad too that i replaced the barrel also . ,just won`t be ready for this trip barrel won`t be here till end of June from Brux barrels . my Remington 700 Tactical 300 Win.mag. has always shot extremely well right out of the box , but this 700 should for the price i paid for this rifle 10 -15 some years ago. our tickets are purchased for the airline so in 2 weeks we leave for S.E. Africa ! thanks for all the positive posts . Pete53

old barrel was 1 1/2 inch at best 3 shot groups sometimes 2 inch, the new Brux barrel is being machined & installed this week under 1 inch consistent with my handloads probably will do even better than i expect probably . my 300 Win. mag. Remington Tactical shoots consistent 3/4 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yds all the time with my handloads with many different kinds and brands of bullets ,sometimes even 1/2 inch ,but this rifle now that i am 70 with bad shoulders is kinda miserable to shoot without the muzzle brake too.

How does your barrel shoot consistently under an inch before it’s installed?

It took 17 pages to get to the point we all knew on page 1. Don’t confuse the OP.

Amen. This thread has been a joke from the git go. 18 pages to decide the 30-06 is an adequate plains game cartridge? Really? And, of course, you have to wonder how a new barrel is shooting under 1” before it’s installed.

And, of course, you have to wonder how a new barrel is shooting under 1” before it’s installed. It's even more of a joke now that your never-Trumping, covtard vax jabbing asss showed up...... Sorry for the delayed response. Just saw this post. I leave in 4 days for the Caprivi via Doha, Joberg, and Kasane, then drive into Namibia. I and my wife( who has a PhD in nursing education) are vaccinated. As a retired physician, I consider anyone that is refusing the vaccine as stupid. It’s free insurance against a potentially fatal disease. Granted, the mortality rate is low, but the hospitalization rate isn’t for unvaccinated people. 85-90 % of people in hospitals due to COVID are unvaccinated. Enough said. ) The virus is now ubiquitous and will remain so forever. It isn’t going away. The days of worrying about travelers spreading it are gone. All one can do now if you want to travel outside the US is follow the rules, whether it is vax or testing prior to arrival. Right now you must have a negative Covid test to re-enter the US but that regulation is expected to be lifted in the near future. Brother Raider believes the vax does no good and is dangerous. Check the graphs in the link, especially the US graph. The evidence speaks for itself. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccinationYou can’t fix stupid.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Once again, my stalker/troll makes a post having nothing to do with the topic at hand..It is strange to be followed around this forum by an irrelevant retard but there you have it. I’m pretty sure there is a forum here for personal attacks. Too bad he is too stupid to use it….

Good to see you're back Karendollar. This forum is as good as any to keep front and center the dumbass covtards like yourself, the poster child. Keep up the great recommendations you dumbass coward. I and my wife( who has a PhD in nursing education) are vaccinated. As a retired physician, I consider anyone that is refusing the vaccine as stupid.
