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.
