Really was into rifles years ago. Worked in a gun shop. Many guns are great hunting rifles. I have always preferred bolt actions for the strength, performance for a given cartridge, etc. When I was working at the shop, I picked up a used gun that I will use until I can't hunt anymore, then give it to my son. Husqvarna M 8000 with a silky smooth, very strong action, and light weight. Put it in a Brown Precision fiberglass stock. The rifle (30/06) shoots under MOA, handles loads that showed pressure signs in most of the other /06s that I had over the years. Just lucked into a gun that is good enough that I have no desire to buy any other. Never thought I would say that.
