being the elder stateman so to speak everyone else pushed me forward,
I was pardon the pun bulletproof back then,
when we get the gang back together once or twice a year we reminisce
and laugh, but was not funny at the time , total silence as I walked towards him
could hear my heart pounding lol

Looks like the Feral Goat population has really exploded in recent years, saw literally hundreds on the sides of the road between Mildura and Broken Hill.
They don't even bolt when you stop, these only moved when I hopped out of the car. The big Billies were quicker to move. They are at Menindee, Mungo and Balranald, when we used to go pig shooting they were around but not in these numbers.

Went gun shopping today. More confused than when I started but got to hold a few and feel the bolt action.
30-06 it is. After feeling a Howa, a Savage , a Ruger and another starting with Z I am tending to the Ruger still. I really like how the magazine drops out and retains the shells loaded in it rather than playing catch as you open to empty. Seems far easier and safer to manage.

Yeah I know the feeling Darren, so many choices, I am looking at a 30-06 also my current favourite is a Tikka T3 though, have you tried one?
Here is my effort Friday/Sat with a borrowed 308 howa 1500. Nailed this sambar stag right on dusk friday night. Couldn't find the damn thing before dark though, so had to go back Sat morning with my mates dog. It had gone about 30m and died in this small creek!

Have a look at a remington sps or a tikka t3 I own both the sps is cheaper and is a solid action with heaps of aftermarket mods. The tikka is amazing! So sweet and smooth. Both shoot .75 to 1 inch off the shelf and with factory ammo.
At least in the creek it wouldn't bloat or stink up!

All of my larger rifles are Remington 700, never had any trouble that wasn't my own fault.
Nice stag there Crate.

I've got a rem 700 sps varmint in 308 that ive bedded and thrown into a hogue stock. Accuracy is top notch but ive honestly never had as many issues with a rifle as ive had with this one. Mag follower spring snapped, usually jams right when you need that fast follow up shot and the x mark trigger snapped at the adjustment screw area because somone at remington decided to drill a hole right through the mile of a trigger leaving about a mm of meat.
Never again. Ill stick to my rugers from now on. At least they're reliable.
Yeah I did hold the tika and its very nice but DOUBLE the price of the Ruger. I could buy a 223 and a 30-06 in a Ruger for the same money as a 30-06 Tika.

I have nothing against ruger and am surprised by your remington as my remington sps stainless in 22/250 is stock standard shoots Moa and feels robust and never 1 jam or misfire using factory ammo over 200 rounds through her. I have an older one just before the new trigger came out about 3/4 years old was $900 and my tikka t3 hunter stainless in cammo stock in 7mm rem mag is so sweet accurate smooth it takes 1 finger to slide the bolt and chamber a round even that size that was about $1200

Not a fan of most rugers.. some are ok.
I still prefer weatherby or howa for the money and the browning a-bolt is a complete piece of rubbish.
There is a lot to consider and be careful listening to the guy at the shop as he might be trying to move stock that is not moving.
