Hi SAM,
Congratulations for your baby. Its very encouraging to see the female members of the family also getting involved.
Just one thing, thier isnt any voice in the video, would have loved to listen to the first voice of your Baby 30-06.
Once congrats and enjoy safe shooting.
Ravi.

Congrats Guys on your proud possession. I saw a guy shoot his way to silver in open rifle category with the same rifle in the Big Bore Nationals this year. I don't think you should ever worry about it's accuracy. How ever shooting at a living tree may not go well with the environmentalists. It bothered me a bit as well. Secondly, I suggest that keeping the bolt open would be a preferred method for general safety then banking on the safety catch with a loaded chamber.
Happy shooting !!!

SAM,
Thanks for posting this.I am sure you cleaned the rifle of any oil in the chamber before firing it.
Engaging the safety every time you load the rifle is a very bad habit.
The enthusiasm of the lady is heartening.She seems to be handling the recoil better than others.She needs to work on her posture though(as do others).
Learn to load from the shoulder.
Happy shooting.

SAM,
Hearty congratulations on your proud acquisition.Looks great and it was a pleasure watching such an enthusiastic group having fun.The young lady was not at all taken by recoil.
I was wondering if I should post this,Marksman did that for me. . But, please do not mind me for saying this.Please do not shoot at a living tree- the tree may die and if the mark is missed,the bullet may travel far and can harm other living beings which may not be able to see. Always a good idea to shoot targets on grounds with reasonable back stop.
Have fun and keep posting your experience with the rifle.
Best-
Vikram

I just remembered that it is a new rifle.Please read these excellently informative articles about breaking in a new rifle.Can be tedious.But,worth the effort.
it took all the shots
