Red Sparky Report post Posted November 13, 2016 Sounds like fun. I remember when I was about 10 or 11 my uncle set up his 760 and an army can of surplus ammo. He told me to shoot until I was tired or out of ammo. I think about 40 rounds later I was done, it didn't have a recoil pad either but then again do you really need one on an '06?

I used to do sets of 25 dips with a 25 lb late on my legs. My shoulders are somewhat solid. 40 rounds from a 30.06 with a metal butt plate sounds terrible. Maybe just me.

Edge Report post Posted November 13, 2016 My previous rifle predated recoil pads too. It was a 1917 Winchester improved to .300 H/H. First time I shot that it was about 25'F out and I thought I burst a bursa sac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Quimby Thanks Bill, Im going on 35 years hunting from horseback. It's a great way to get into the backcountry and take all the luxuries with but it's also expensive and a heck of a lot of work. Seems like every time you think you can sit down and catch your breath, the beasts make a new demand of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
