I once had 11 rifles in '06, counting a drilling, Valmet 412 12/30-06 and 30-06 DR. Why? Hellifiknow. I seemed to find some great deals and interesting rifles.I've been hunting with a 30-06 for more years than most of the High Road members are old. At one point in time I owned 6 of them but sad to say I'm down to only two. My favorite I call my "Hammer Gun" because it really hammers anything I shoot at. I have a good supply of Sierra and Nosler bullets that will keep me shooting for a long time.
I am down to two now, a first year of production 3-digit Mdl 70 that once wore a side-mounted Lyman Alaskan and an FN actioned custom with a 3-position safety, light contour barrel, Pound'r stock with aluminum bottom metal, and a Timney trigger. The FN was my favorite rifle for high country tough mountain hunting. It has been on some real rough hunts. Since I can no longer do any of that it will go to a relative soon.
Poor pix of the FN...I'll try to get a couple of the Mdl 70:
