After the seasons were over last year I decided that I had a few more guns than I needed and having a new 308 That I really liked I traded off my 7600 30-06. Every since I have been looking at the empty spot in the cabnet where it used to set. A few weeks ago I came through the town where I traded it off and stopped for a look see. I saw my old 30-6 still in the used gun rack. Well today I couldn't stand it anymore and gave them a call to see if it was still there. Well it was and I caved in and ask them to set it back behinde the counter and I would send them a check to lay it away. I feel like a fool thats found a lost family member. I will never let that one get away again. It shot good groups, always 1 1/2 inches or better. Most of its fault as far as pin point accuracy is the less than bench rest quality trigger. It shoots Federal 150 grain Speer grand slams very well at 2940 fps. Those are a good factory load. I shot mostly 150 grain Sierra pro-hunter bullets in it. I loaded them to about 2800 fps for mule deer.
