30-06: 3 Reasons You DON'T Need One And 3 Reasons You DO

The first rifle I ever fired at 5 years old was a 30-06. Was addicted from that moment.

Heresy Heresy !! 30-06 rules forever !!

nah I will keep my 30.06 and my 308 but i hunt with my 30.06 always will during rifle

30-06 lets you own 1903, M1Garand and hunting rifles all sharing the same caliber.....just sayin

Which rifle has zero cons and 3 pros?

What is the rifle brand of the 30-06 please

I grew up w/the .308, .303 & .30-06’ w/my Dad & Uncle’s using them for deer hunting. The very 1st “Deer Rifle”, I bought for MYSELF was…..the .30-06’ & still use it today after 35+years and I’ve never regretted my decision. There was a .270 in Winchester Model 70 & a Remington Model 700 .30-06’ BOTH for $325.00. I chose the 30-06’, & I’ve NEVER wished differently. I used to load from 90-grains to 220-grains & the ole’ 06’ shines through em’ all!!!! Great video man, love it!!!!

Thanks for making fun videos without being the unibomber’s cousin.

I like your 30-06, what is it? Want to sell it😂

What suppressor is that

30-06 gave me my scope eye at like 8 or 9

The first deer gun I ever bought, over 15 years ago was stevens 30-06. I still have it, took it out before rifle season this year, shot it twice, and drove straight home to put icy hot on my shoulder. 30-06 is an absolute recoil hammer for a "normal" hunting cartridge!

Its my go to round, I've used it for everything

If you dont like .30-06 recoil, either learn to shoulder a rifle properly or stick with .22lr.

My 93 year old father still shoots his old old old Savage 110 30 ot 6 and take the recoil with ease. He still uses 180g. It's not that bad of recoil. 12g with 3 1/2" turkey load kicks way harder. People have gotten soft over the years.

When I was a kid I thought the 30/06 was the ultimate cartridge. Once i got one i learned it was a bit too much for most applications that i was using it for. A 7mm-08 or 243 is plenty for everything except for elk, moose, and bear.

Talk too much

I mean it took off limbs and heads during combat. Rather have a 06 then 556

Good, but Boring

What rifle set up are you using for the 30-06? I've never seen one with a box magazine that long.

Anyone no what kind of bipod that is I’m trying to get one

Please dear god what is that hog target and where did you get it? would love one just like it

90 or so years ago a man named Gancel Fitz took all 30 some species of North American game. This was with ammo that is nowhere as good as ammo construction today.

My dad's Garand was the first centerfire rifle I ever shot. We've both taken deer with it and had a ton of fun at the range as well. It's now semi-retired and awaiting a Winchester op-rod to replace the bent SA one. I'm a real sucker for nostalgic things, especially when it comes to guns. The '06 is my pick for a lower 48 rifle to rule them all.

some experts like to say that there is no such thing as stopping power, but correct me if I'm wrong, I think you unintentionally created a test that demonstrates stopping power and penetration. the steel flip being the demonstration of stopping power and the craters demonstrating penetration. this was awesome!

The 30-06 is a handloaders delight. I really don’t know if there is another cartridge that will take the range of bullets. Simply, if you hand load there is only one do everything. Guess what it is.

30-06 is my least favorite round

The 30.06 is still king but there are many fine cartridges today trying to catch up. It’s just a darn tough act to follow.

The M1 grand was obviously the very best combat rifle of all time.

iv been a super fan of the 308 for 20 years. my first cartridge i reloaded. first caliber i shot in F class comp. but after buying 2 garands from the cmp. and now stocking a new caliber. iv found a new respect for the old '06. it really is something special.

Super sonic 300 blackout you should add

Amazing video, but man do you need a beard

I use a 30-30

Shot placement and distance some hog hunters use 22 mag for inventory stick w the common 22 9mm 45 12 g 30-06

The 30-06 is old yes, it has lasted because it’s a great round. It’s still the standard by which all others are compared to. Many cartridges that were supposed to dethrone the ‘06 aren’t around much anymore.

hi, nice report... over here in Europe, what we say about the 30-06 is: good for everything, excellent for nothing, hi ! all in all thanx for being very clear on data and cons/pros

1748 ft lbs of energy in 06 at 600 yds is enough proof for me

30-06 has taken big game on every continent on the planet .and been in multiple wars from 1900 forward .. so very versatile round 🥃 good video thanks

I use a 7mm rem mag most of the time but I dont think any animal I have ever killed would have know the difference if I used my 06. I have shot Whitetails at 400 but a vast majority of them have been inside 200 and thats nothing for the old 06.

see 22lr take down more then a hog with only one shot

Got to just love so caled know it all . Collage junky

RE: Overpriced .308 Win.

I had been in this camp for a long time but a .308 Winchester M1 Garand just looses it’s charm compared to the USGI .30-06 Garand.

I like the baby making music you use.

I do need a 30.06....in fact im 700 bucks away from my HCAR.

I like hunting with a 8mm mauser. That is a very versatile round.

Is 7.62, the same as a 30 .06

The 30.06 was used to accomplish the north American super slam. By one of the contests.

I have taken cape Buffalo with 30.06, and almost everything in-between, superb round

30.06 is a versatile round and you can buy every round there is and of all game you may need 3 guns .308 is garbage, it's a repeat, best thing is to look how much the ammo costs. I remember a friend from school his dad had at least 30 rifles and shotguns.....overkill?
