I have a 30-06 I inherited from a guy that was like a dad to me back in 1995. I've shot it quite a bit but never hunted with it. Past 8 or 10 years I haven't even shot it much. decided it's gonna be my elk rifle this year. Had it to the gun smith years ago and the barrel he described as badly pitted, shure don't shoot like it though.
Bud had it made for himself when he was discharged from the army in 1945. He was wounded in the Pacific and spent a bunch of time in the VA Hospital in Walla Walla, Wash. The rifle is a 1903 Springfield and was built by Paul Jaeger! Have my own scope on it, 2 3/4x Denver Redfield. The trigger is the standard two stage military trigger with an attitude. Extremely smooth, My favorite trigger. Take up is smooth but definite stop to fire. Then breaks like glass. I have an idea what happen's is the trigger loads up your finger and then a whisper send's it off.
I don't know if I can get some photo's in here or not but will give it a try.

Not to bad for a worn out barrel!
