Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

@thomasdaniel6495 2 месяца назад

You know,I don't really think this series has really shown how bad the rifles shoot,I think it shows more about the factory loadings being harder to shoot,or find one that does.I have been playing with 06 rifles for over forty years now,and always had an easy time of finding good handloads for them.The factories have a lot working against them to produce high quality ammo for the 06.I have never found a factory load to shoot like I want it to,some fairly acceptable,but never great.Good series,enjoyed it,keep up the good work. P.S.,I feel like everyone of these rifles are good shooters,and with just a little experimenting you could easily find a good load for them,in whatever weight,with handloads.

Having a hard time thinking all these rifles shoot this poorly. Many of these tests weren't groups at all with wild flyers. While not a big fan of sleds, for this test, it would help establish a better baseline. Properly torqued action screws, and a free float check would also erase some questions. We're the barrels cleaned? Too many questions without knowing if we have an even starting point. Just my .02c

I had a ruger no 1 in 416 rem mag really liked that rifle, but as soon as I finally found a Winchester m70 safari in same caliber I had to get it. Took me forever to finally track down that model 70 during covid. Really love the ruger no 1’s, but I still prefer bolt actions. I do a lot of jump shooting whitetails walking cutovers and a single shot is not that great for that 😂

@dancrane674 2 месяца назад

I am shocked at how poorly these rifles have shot. When I bought my Tikka T3X and was breaking it in, it shot a 9/16” group with Whitetail ammo! I’ve since gone to hand loading and have done a bit better with .05” groups with both 124gr and 168gr Hammer Hunters. I highly doubt each of those rifles shoot that poorly there is something else going on. If that had been me, I’d have put one of my personal scopes on one of those rifles to see if that was the problem. This is not a great example how accurate the 30-06 really is.

@allenlarabie8854 Месяц назад

💯% agree 👍🏻

@wiregrassga 2 месяца назад

My current .30-06 is a tang safety Ruger 77 I bought new in 1981. It had disappointing accuracy initially with factory loads but I found a handload that makes it shoot like a target rifle; 150gr Nosler BT and IMR 4064. With this load it will shoot consistent sub MOA. Also I did make one modification, floating the barrel.

@RedHuntsman 2 месяца назад

Miroku makes some nice rifles. The BLR as an example.

@nilsforseth404 2 месяца назад

Hi Ron. Like I mentioned in another video comments, I've been shooting 30-06 rifles for 53 years. I have never had groups that large ever. Since most of the rifles you used shot poorly I don't think it's the rifles. The common denominator for each rifle is the scope. My new Winchester model 70 Super Grade 30-06 shoots less than 1 MOA. Usually 0.5 inch groups. Then again I hand load specifically for both my 30-06 rifles. The other being a 1972 Remington 700 BDL that still shoots 0.5 inch groups. I would try a different make scope to see what happens. Good luck.

@ridgewalker2416 27 дней назад

I have a cheap Remington 78. I put a cheap Remington plastic stock on it many many years ago. The best factory load is the Barnes 150 TTSX into .47” at the 100 meter range. Hornady 165 SST factory loads into .75”. Hand loads ranging from 130 Barnes TTSX to Nosler 200 Partition are all under 1.0” at the 100 meter range. I too like to shoot only 3 shots at a time, then on multiple days with different atmospheric conditions testing again. So far I have taken a lot of game in my 76 years and very rarely has it taken more than the first shot out of a cold barrel. In all honesty on tougher game such as elk, I keep shooting until they are down and dead. Mainly in respect for the animal. Thanks for your interesting shows. I hope I never get too old to learn something new, or be reminded of something I have forgotten. LOL!

@andymauthe5508 2 месяца назад

Really inconsistent groupings. Yes the 30-06 has been around a long time and I can believe that the chamber dimensions are more sloppy than a modern PRC or other such chamber. But one of the most accurate rifles I own and have ever shot is a Sauer 202 in 30-06. It’s got a fairly light sporter weight barrel but consistently shoots right around a half inch at 100 yards with good factory ammo. So a 30-06 is certainly capable of very good accuracy. None of these rifles shot very well considering what some of them cost and the fact that they are are all current manufactured. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Something is wrong. Maybe scope is not up to handling the recoil, maybe try another shooter with same setup and same ammo and compare those results. Then try another scope/mount combo. All these should be around 1-2 MOA with most loads.

The way that Christensen Arms rifle was acting, I'm not surprised. I've had a couple friends who have bought their products, then returned or got rid of them, real fast. Not to mention, the action on that gun seemed incredibly stiff, gritty and just plain rough out of all those other guns. Not acceptable from a company that charges so much for their products.

@robertsebacher44 Месяц назад

My guess is the scopes are the problem. I have 270, 30:06, 308, and 7mm REM Mag that all shoot sub MOA. Rings and mounts all have their inherent problems. There is now the possibility that enough premium ammunition may not be used to find one that the rifle prefers due to its cost. As you are aware the other variables affecting accuracy are too numerous to list. I also own in addition to those you tested, pump, semi automatic, and falling block rifles that are capable of greater accuracy than I can any longer achieve. If you’re just testing the rifle accuracy and not interested in ergonomics etc. then fire your groups from a led sled or other type of Vice. If you’re concerned with the guns suitability for hunting you need to try it from realistic shooting positions and not from a bench, after you have handled the rifle enough to be at least familiar and comfortable with it. All this is, of course, time intensive not to mention the expense of ammunition. It also helps to know competent gunsmiths who specialize in the firearms concerned. Sometimes a small tweak can have disproportionate benefits. Other times no amount of effort will create a cost effective solution. If you want to play then you have to roll the dice. My best advice is to place quality as your first priority within your fiscal limitations. Mine are fairly modest.

My buddy bought a carbon fiber barrel rifle in 300wsm. It had great accuracy until the third shot. Once that thin steel barrel sleeve would heat up, you had no idea where the rest of the shots were going. To compound problems, the carbon fiber seemed to act like a thermal insulator. This made waiting for the barrel to cool down a huge time suck at the range.

What is up guys my xpr shoots sub moa at 100 yards . That is with a 124gr hammer hunter all the way up to a 178 ELDX. I have never seen such bad groups out of 30-06.

@tonymills7883 2 месяца назад

You could have got a browning x bolt 2 and tried it . That’s is a fine rifle for the cost.

My XPR 3006 shoots as good, but I have to look from time to time that the actionscrews don't come loose.

Love the 3006 but the groups in these videos would make a statue cry.

That is where good old-fashioned handloading might or might not improve things

Like that Browning lever action. Sweet looking rifle. Good in the woods or back country. Very maneuverable in any hunting situation

Good to see someone that doesn’t discount this great cartridge. I have a Tikka T3X roughtech with ember stock in 30-06. At 100 yards I get 1/2” groups with Barnes Vortx 150gr and Hornady outfitter 180gr. I get 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards shooting offhand.

On that last rifle when you were going right you said you dialed it right when you adjusted, might be part of the issue.

Have had a bunch of .30 caliber rifles. Have never had one that shot light (150 gr ) accurately. 308 win, 30-06, 300 mags, all liked 165-180 gr.. 300 Win Mag loved 200 gr Remington Premier. Had a 308 BLR that would get 3/4 inch with Federal Premium 165's, 2" with 150's.

Well I've shot several 3006 in my life. The Remington 700 shot MOA out of the box. Dad's old Savage 110 I had to do a trigger job cause hard trigger pull and had to float the barrel to get MOA. The Remington 742 semiauto shot about a inch to a 2 inch group.

Hello Ron.I have a savage axis with remington core 165 tipped 1 moa,nosler was tighter but would not ejecked

On the Christianson arms riffle... I really wanted you to check if that muzzle break was nice and snug... Anyway like I said before my Sako 3006 shoots a sub MOA consistently... even a 1/2 MOA consistently. But I hand reload... I have noticed something that might be worth thinking about... my 180gr reloads travel at 2450fps, more towards the 308 speeds. The factory loads seem to travel in the 2600 - 2700 range.

@rosshill2565 2 месяца назад

Well, maybe it is too slow. I have reloads with 180 grain bullets and H4350 powder that shoot 2850 range and they shoot a under MOA. I have 165 grain bullets with H4350, which is going 2965 average and is the top bullet with 3/4 inch groups.

@anthonyfairbanks2952 2 месяца назад

Crazy my old savage Axis in 6.5cm put most factory ammo in sub moa but the bases would always come loose and I would have to take my scope off just to tighten it back up I got sick of doing that so I sold it and got Ruger 7mm-08

@larsjobe3953 2 месяца назад

I love that I'm not the only one who fumbles with the mag release on a Savage

@christianzale505 2 месяца назад

I really think the issue here are the Maven scopes. I have a hard time believing that all these rifles shoot this terribly.

@awsomedude12345678 2 месяца назад

Well after 30-06 week i know not to buy a maven scope either that or ron is just a terrible shot

@steverutkowski8141 2 месяца назад

I get sponsored vids but wondering if the scopes are the issue???

@user-bb5uu6ze7z 2 месяца назад

Also, accuracy issues could be the action screw torque specs are off. I have bought rifles where those screws weren't even torqued self imposed factory specs.

I’ve watched more than one of these .30-06 videos and they’ve been cool. .30-06 is my favorite for sure. But I think that the factory loadings offered for .30-06 don’t fully accurize it. Someone else commented that every video’s groups show 2-shots right next to each other and a 3rd flier. I don’t know if that’s coincidence or if Mr spomer was consistently having a flier in each group. I had a Vanguard (series 1) which is a Howa 1500 rebranded by Weatherby for many years. It shot 1.5” 5-shot groups all the time but rarely shot 1” 3-shot groups (it was only rated/certified for 1.5” at 100yd). Then I replaced it with a Mark V Hunter and I think the best group I shot with it was at 300yd, right at 4” or so; don’t ever recall shooting less than an inch at 100 yards though. Now I have a Benelli Lupo which I’ve shot a handful of half inch or better groups with, and I’ve shot 2 other Lupos that can do the same. All 150gr soft points from various factory loadings.
