[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1578237, member: 97414"] I kind of have to look at it as a positive even though I'm giving up on benefits of what my 30/06 can do,,, of course I said this same thing when I went sold off 3 of my Magnum rifles. Ok,,, 17 of them found new homes 5 years ago in the 5th house cleaning attempt,,, I'll be honest,,, it ain't easy scale-ing back when my adventures took off at a young age. I meet the wrong fellow that owned """alot""" of firearms,,, so I followed suit. It took me 10 years to build a collection that was waaaaay to much,,, 22 rimfires on up to 375's,,, shot-guns that filled one wall and 2 cabinets of hand-guns. Funny thing was that I alway used 3 main hunting rifles and the rest were just part of the mix. Don't get me right or wrong,,, it was fun having a collection of good times,,, but as time passed by things changed,,, the idea of less is more kicked in about 20 years ago on other hobbies I had on the go,,, the scale back idea Sloooooowly got underway. Any how,,, the 30/06 was a fun start to jump on,,, just enough energy,,, a bit to much at times,,, and easy to load for,,, of course most cartrages are easy to dial in I find. My 308 will not be the power house rifle,,, but it won't be the under dog either... What it lacks in my limited hunting category it makes up for in a bit less recoil and a fraction of the fun factor. I spend alot of time plinking at the range and crown lands up here,,, so I see this little cartrage filling those needs. Just enough for limited hunting,,, and the same for plinking. Nothing to lose if I don't give it a try,,, plus it allows me to take on more things in the out doors... That's what really counts in my books [/QUOTE]
