This is all hilarious....anyhow, I have long thought about an f open rifle in .30-06. so easy to load for and great components. Back to the other posts, and this is no joke, we had to change all of our qual targets years back to the standard Q target because a staff member raised a stink on why the targets we were using were black.

Had a shooting buddy that shot High Power with a M1 Garand. His rifle was custom made. Light weight Walnut stock and a chrome plated action. He died and I took it upon myself round up and sell all his shooting gear for his wife.
I stashed the rifle for a while while I concentrated on getting rid of the rest his gear. Thought about keeping it for myself SO,
I fired his rifle a few times and couldn't get rid of it fast enough. That sucker KICKED LIKE A MULE!!! Beautiful rifle but just not for me. His wife asked me about his Favorite rifle and I told her I was in no hurry to sell it till I got the price I wanted.
Took it to the LGS and put it on consignment. The owner of the store asked me what I wanted for it? $1000.000!! He mentioned that was to much but after I mentioned all the extra work and $$ that went into building it he priced it and put it in the rack. I remember him saying something about it not moving too fast because of the high price tag? He called me the next day. SOLD!!
When I handed his wife the CASH, she almost fell over. I told her I wasn't letting it go till I got my price.
Come to find out later, that rifle and my shooting buddy had a BUNCH of Trophies and ribbons that he won in matches. He was a NRA Judge and was as deaf as a post from NOT wearing ear protection over the years. I have his log book, a bunch of his patches, a few of his Trophies and his shooting glasses. Funny thing is, we did RC Airplanes and VERY LITTLE gun stuff. Didn't know much about his shooting till after he was gone. We did have fun with his BSA Martini shooting rats from under his goose house.
Robert Lee Belt, I miss you my friend.

Guaranteed to take the wind out of their sails
In my humble opinion, there's one person on this thread that seems to constantly wants to stir up controversy. It's happened on many other threads lately, started in August.
You nailed it,august 16th to be exact ...after almost 3 years without posting . Seems to have a fan also, or maybe two accounts ?
Do you also go by the name garandman ?
There called Forum Gansters. Nothing much useful to say. Contradicting most members till they find maybe one ally. Then they really feel tough and start verbally insulting and throwing condescending remarks. I've run into many of these guys. They've been kicked off other forums and WILL again...Guaranteed. There called Forum Gangsters because they'd never run that BS out of their mouth face to face with another man. Only thru a keyboard. It's hilarious. Just move on and ignore these idiots. There always popping up on these forums.
And the other kind of "Forum Gangsters" are those who enjoy the group-think and piling on when somebody expresses a contrary opinion, then they get all butt hurt when they don't make any progress, and so they resort to personal insults, whining and posting comments like #71. Just move on and ignore these idiots...good advice for the resident forum "enforcers" who get their jollies making insults and condescending remarks toward those who do not agree with them and their forum buddies. My take on it? Let the children play, boys will be boys.
Pretty sure I didn't put a name next to those remarks. Funny how people that resemble the remarks seem to be the fastest to follow up. Also pretty sure that no whining or insults occurred, only facts.
And I'm pretty sure I put no name next to your remarks. Funny how people who resemble remarks are the first to respond. Just the facts. See how this works? If you want to dish it out, be sure you are ready to get it back. Or you could, you know, just not comment at all.
Like I said...Forum Ganster. You definitely resemble that phrase. I'm positive you've been labeled that on other forums as you have this one. Matter of fact I'm sure you've been kicked off other forums for your ignorance and disrespectful comments. Either way, it's all humorous to me and others here on this forum.
Thanks for proving my point, again.
Weirdest 30.06 thread yet
Sorry to all that's on this thread. I should know better than to be baited by ignorance and let that get the best of me. Carry on. I'm done.
No shit....i cannot believe that my rifle, and me posting about it, caused all of this nonsense.
