Guns

I just noticed that shell holder, what kind is that?

It is from S[HTML_REMOVED]J Hardware.

They are made in Canada and work very well.

Nice. I cut down an SOE shot card to fit the receiver on my 870 since its the wood for end and is alot longer than the comb combat style ones.

Any recommendations on a 30-06? Its a rifle that I don't want to cheap out on.

I'm assuming you want a bolt gun, I don't know much about bolt guns.. I do know that the modern budget bolt guns will out shoot most people with decent glass.

Put a gun on your scope. Savage 111 would probably be what I get when its time.

I bought the 4 shot versions so I could mount one on the receiver too.

Budget?

I looked at a Ruger Guide Rifle not too long ago and really liked it. The stock isn't for everyone but I thought it looked better in person than it does in pictures.

Put the thread protector on instead of the brake and you would have a very reliable and compact rifle.

I went with a Weatherby Vanguard 2 Stainless synthetic in that caliber. Shoots moa with cheap ammo and sub-moa with the good stuff.

Not a lightweight gun, but inexpensive and reliable. I did mount a Zeiss 3-9X40 on it, but glass is a personal preference.

I would consider selling the Weatherby as I have Magnumitis!

The Vanguard 2 is a good choice. Personally, I like the older guns. But if I was looking at a new 30-06, and money wasn't a huge issue, I would consider a Sako. There are more expensive rifles, but Sakos are very well built and hold their resale incredibly well.

I love Sako's! However, my wallet does not. Great rifles, but they are still spendy. I would love a pre-64 Remmy, but they command some decent dough, and I'm not a fan of hunting with wood stocks, as in, I don't wanna ding them up!

If I had the money it would be Kimber or Cooper.

Coopers are nice, for sure. Wood stocks can last a long time, even with dings. My wood-stock hunting rifle is 40 years old and will last my lifetime. I prefer the feel/weight of wood over most synthetic stocks - but I do like Sako synthetic stocks. ;)

The only gripe I've got against the few synthetic Sako rifles I have handled is the rubbery texture on the stock. I don't know if that is a standard thing for them but I wouldn't want a stock like that. A hunting buddy has an older Sako in .338 Win and it is a beautiful rifle.

Italian Sporting Goods had a Kimber Caprivi in .416 Rem that I played with last fall and quite liked. It was well finished and had a very slick action. I've never handled their other rifles but they are very popular.

I briefly owned a Montana XVR-SS but returned it due to a mfg issue. I did like rifle and while the action was a bit rough, it had a good trigger and general feel to it. Unfortunately Montana didn't seem to be willing to replace the rifle and told me to correct the issue by modifying the scope rings. I was not happy with that as a fix so the dealer took it back and I spent a bunch more on a Cooper.

I hope Cooper rifles are nice. I'll find out for sure when mine arrives. :D
They do make really good looking rifles.

I chose walnut and full stainless as I think it makes for a very elegant but functional rifle.

I'm in love! That is more of a piece of art to me. I would rather ding up a Tupperware stock than wood like that!

Sweet Cooper!

The rubbery stock I liked when it was wet versus other plastic stocks. I was considering a Steyr for a while but the stock was real slippery when wet - and I don't want a range queen. Also with the Steyr, after about 6 rounds fired you had to clean the chamber and bolt as the tolerances are so tight, the powder build-up would make the bolt almost intolerable - but their two stage triggers are amazing.

Here's the Marlin 795. Good cheap fun and pretty accurate.
