[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1552287, member: 86754"] I loved the way Carlos Hatchcock used the 30-06 to "hunt/shoot " LR Rice Burners. :) Sorry, but "that kind" of LR always appealed to me as a soldier. Fate saw a guy who beat me "by one point" in Boot Camp who "got my slot" at Sniper School. "If" I had hunkered down a little more, then I would have had some great schooling/training on LR shooting that would have affected my entire civilian life! But...one point...and went back home to the Big Thicket of East Texas, took me 20 yrs to get a 276yd shot. ha then, when I came out West, I was "intimidated" by the distances and the "invisible" wind! I still use an M1 Garand and a tweaked/scoped M1A to "shoot rocks" with my Marine SIL out past 900. You guys that can kill game way out there impress the heck out of me! :) [/QUOTE]
