Ever shoot an 06?

Yep, I own two '06s (actually, they're a matched his and her set). And a .348 Winchester Model 71 (that's really my dad's, but I'm allowed to shoot it when I'm good). And I've shot skeet with my grandfather's humpback Browning 12 ga (that's a punisher!) My personal hymn of hate is reserved for the 7mm Rem Mag, which for some reason has a nasty recoil out of proportion to its muzzle energy.

The No. 5 also has an accuracy problem, probably because extensive cuts were made to the barrel and receiver to lighten the weight. But it's a cool looking rifle (I have one).
