Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Our house is five hundred feet above the river, so all is well. Pretty tough conditions downtown though. Flew over about suppertime today and got a good view. Keep all those effected in your prayers as a lot of folks have been struck hard along the river. Her...

Re: How many guys can truly handle a rifle 30-06 or bigger?

I currently shoot a 30-06, had a 7 mm Mag that kicked the living day lights out of me, at 15 years old. Put several thousand rounds of 303 British down range as a guy in my early 20's, but 30-06 is a good caliber for me. Think of a Magnum from time to time but don't wish to deal with the recoil.
