re: OB THoughts on this combo for a young man.

In that price range it's gonna be hard to beat. Calumets are personal, so that's up to you. I love my 270win, but I like the 30-06 as well. 260 rem, 7mm-08, 308 would all be GREAT choices as well and the short action is nice.

That .30-06 is gonna kick like a rented mule but it will last him for many years and will take down any critter in North America.

I don't get the whole 30-06 recoil fear. Gotta get my old 06 out and see if I'm missing something. I guy I work with sold a pre 64 model 70 in 06 for 400 bucks cause he said it kicked too hard. FTR he replaced it with a 300 winny!

Holy shite, that's a helluva bargain if it was in good shape. MY pre-64 '06 kicks a lot less than most, of course with the scope, it clocks in at a healthy weight.

It's not a bad recoil, it's just more than most calibers someone would shoot when they are 13.

That's a good combo, but for a 13 year old might wanna go with something with a little less kick especially if he's not that used to shooting high powered rifles yet.
.270 would probably be better.

I almost threw up when he told me what he sold it for. It was in pristine condition too.
My opinion would that the 30-06 is a great round, but the 270 would probly be better for a kid. The 270 win pushing a 130 grain bullet is an outstanding round, crushes deer and is outstandingly accurate. The 06 pushing the 150 isn't bad, but I think it likes 165s better for accuracy. I will say that I haven't worked an 06 much though. Faxis needs to weigh in. He has a hot little 120gr round he loves, but you would have to reload.

The longest shot he's ever taken is 100 yards.

As much as I hate to start that argument, it really does.

Damn, I cried a little just then. I gave over twice that for mine, but it's an accurate mofo.
The biggest problem I would see with the 06 for a 13 year old is target practice. The one shot it would take to down a deer would be fine, however it would be the several boxes he should shoot to get used to the gun that could cause a problem. Well that's my opinion on the matter.

My 270 Winchester kicks harder than my .30-06, I think
Posted on 11/29/13 at 9:46 pm to LoneStarTiger
Same. My .270 kicks more than any 06 I've ever shot.

I bought a 7mm when I was 13 and I hated it because of the recoil. Quickly sold it and went back to my 243. A buddy shoots the 7mm-08 and it was his first gun and he still shoots it today. I would let him shoot the 243 so he's not scared of the recoil and can make a good shot with it. I had the vanguard s2 257 weatherby mag and it was an awesome gun with very little recoil.

For some reason I don't notice recoil so much. I do notice muzzle blast. Muzzle brakes drive me crazy. I think its because I was taught to shoot "right". What I mean by that is concentration and routine. The muzzle blast from a brake just throws my concentration off and fricks up my routine. If had learned to shoot with one it probably wouldn't bother me. I think before a kid shoots any center fire they should have shot thousands of 22 rounds, but I'm an old soul.

Do they make the ADL in .25-06?
Posted on 11/30/13 at 3:05 am to WhiskerBiscuitSlayer
Not on the Canelas website. Not sure if Remington makes it though.
Academy has one for $380
