Without any real attempt to do so on my part, I find myself in possession of four 30-06 bolt action rifles and often hunt with one.
I've seriously considered getting one of them re-bored to 35 Whelen or the slightly different 9.3x62. Both are just a bit behind the 375 H&H for power. Both are...
Shrapnel, thanks for the info! I'm enjoying the heck out of 1923, from the first episode to their current problems. I like the way the story weaves several related threads together show after show. Ranch problems, native gal fleeing the school, the two newlyweds making their way halfway around...
My Bergara with the carbon fiber wrapped 22" threaded barrel shot great as it came from the factory. Later I swapped on a Boyds laminate stock that is a little bigger than the lightweight factory stock and fits me better.

And the way it looks now:
It comes with a muzzle brake...
Southwest for sure! It snowed again in our northwest mountains last night. Looks like the fresh snow line is at about 2,000' ASL.
Southwest has lots of great hiking/backpacking trails available. Beautiful out there too.
Enjoy! Guy
I've shot three black bear with my Ruger Number One in 375 H&H, all spot and stalk hunts. Two more with the 30-06, one of those was over bait, the other spot and stalk.
Intended to hunt elk and African big game with the 375, but that hasn't happened. May not.
Previous owner of my 375 used it...
Perhaps of interest re this discussion, my buddy Gavin built a 16" 308 Win which I've loaded for and shot rather a lot.
Great little rifle. Accurate and handy. Here's the velocity comparison I did between it and my 24" barreled 308 Win:
Easy to see that even at 16" velocities remain quite...
Can doesn't add velocity. Sometimes a bit, sometimes not at all. Variable. No huge increase for sure.
When you chop the barrel to accommodate the can, you lose that velocity. Often the loss is worthwhile because shooting with a can is really nice on the shooter. But yes, there's a price to pay...
Here's the Skinner peep and scope mount, Talley QR rings and a 1" tube 1.5-5x Leupold I've had for some years.
Mounted it on a Henry 360 Buckhammer and it's working out GREAT.
