Also build me a 6mm-06 with a Douglas Air Gauge Lite Palma stainless barrel, it shoots 1in at 350 yards. I will find a picture. I have a 6.5x30 72mm Objective 30mm tube Minox scope on it. For here if a primer is to be popped my Remington 700 in 300 Blackout suppressed - subsonic 190gr. will do the dispatching. The firing pin is loud when it goes off, not much else. I like your rifle and Cat.

Somehow after carrying on here for awhile, the falling block affection did not surprise me I don’t have any really super accurate No. 1s, maybe my standard catalog English/gloss 300 H&H. It stays under moa easy.
For grins, here’s my “primitive” rifle.
28 inch barreled 1885, 375.
235 Speer hot core over an abundance of R-17. It’s probably more brutal than the 300s.
I have toyed with the the idea of liquidating my collection and going with something like a Blaser or Merkel with a couple of barrels. But have a lot of memories with my falling blocks, and a little skeptical of the light weight of those. I usually hunt out of shooting houses, and do realize there are limits to my recoil tolerance. A number 1 in 450-400 nitro made me come to grips there. That thing will hurt you if you’re not paying attention
