New Hunter looking for advice.
Hi guys. I am new to the forum and new to hunting. This year is the first year i have ever been deer hunting and I am 27 years old. I am hooked now. The other day I bought a Raptor Arms 30-06 rifle with a nikon scope. We sighted it in and it seems to shoot really well. I have just never heard of this brand of gun and was wondering what yalls opinion of it was. Thank you for any input.

Its like the old saying....its not the arrows but the indian....get out and shoot your gun on paper....know what is shoots at a 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, etc....spend time siting it in and learning to shoot it.....the 30-06 is a great round....as long as you can put it on paper...i gurantee that it will kill just as good as a 700bdl, browning, or ruger.....

From what I've heard, the Raptor company was bought out by Mossberg. The Raptor rifle is basically repackaged by Mossberg as their ATR. I also heard that Mossberg puts a little more effort into the finish of the gun, but can't vouch for that, never picked up either gun. If parts are ever needed, perhaps Mossberg parts will work?
Anyway, you have a decent shooting '06. Nothing wrong with that!
