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.

Great series and great interaction! .30-06 is my favorite caliber (and I own many rifles in various calibers including many rifles in .30-06). I own two of three presented rifles in various versions and vintages - modern Sako 85 Bavarian in .30-06 (left hand) and an early '90s Weatherby Mark V Classicmark in 7 mm Rem Mag (left hand) plus various Winchester and Remington bolt action rifles in .30-06. Across all my .30-06 rifles, the Sako is the best overall - best accuracy, best trigger, best fit-n-finish, best ergo (esp. the top loadable removable magazine). The Model 70 has the smoothest action however. All are great rifles though!

@BusterBibb 3 месяца назад

Minimal work on Savage rifles to achieve really repeatable accuracy. Sometimes nothing but too with quality mounts/rings snd a decent scope. I do not run complicated scopes as a rule. Big game hunting rifles do not need huge complicated dial in optics. And I’ve taken a lot of game in my life. Just decent proven optics not cheap scopes. I will say yo anyone buying a Savage rifle. When you look at a Savage at a gun shop/dealer…have a quality one piece scope mount. A one piece. And lay that mount in position and check to see is the rifle receiver is straight..not warped. Savage has been known to kick out warped receivers though warpage can be slight. But I got a Savage..once…that was badly warped and I didn’t attempted to mount a scope for a few months to receiver since I was using just the receiver. I had taken off the barrel and installed a specialty barrel and oooops!! I sent the receiver back to Savage but!!! I had taken the barrel off. Savage blamed me of bending the receiver.!!! Live and learn!! Moral to this…no matter what rifle anyone buys..make sure that receiver is not warped. 👍

Great bullet for an all purpose medium and big game choice, solid shank makes sure it stays together at close range and the lead core tip makes sure it functions at longer distances.

@audieladd2476 3 месяца назад

It's possible that if the forend pressure pad is removed from the Weatherby it'll shoot one hole groups because vertical stringing is usually associated with upward forend pressure. Failing that, get a Tikka and it'll shoot 1/4" groups straight out of the box. My T3x Lite Stainless did with cheap Federal Blue Box Ammo.

Weatherby 307 wood stock in a 06?? YES PLEASE

@brianowen497 Месяц назад

There is a technique to shooting rifles with some recoil vs light cartridges like a 6.5 Creedmoor. Also, the bench makes a big difference in group size, especially with rifles that recoil harder. This is why good benches are made of concrete or blocks. Your bench is definitely a factor. Most 06s are very accurate when shot with the correct technique.

@stephenpaquet Месяц назад

Yeah, I’m a little surprised. He’s not a member at a really good gun club with solid bench rests. Where he can truly show the best of the rifle. You’re absolutely correct the benches is almost everything to get the most out of a rifle.

@jfess1911 3 месяца назад

The tolerances of the new cartridges are the same as they have been for decades ( diameter tolerance of +0.002" and length of +0.015"). The 30-06 just uses the old "forcing cone" style of chamber in front of the case. It has a funnel starting at .3106" that tapers at 1°22" per side into the rifling with nothing to help align the bullet with the bore other than the neck of the case. The bullet can be at a slight angle as the rifling is engraved, causing a small wobble as it travels down the barrel. The 30-06 CAN be accurate, but can be a bit picky at to which combination of powder, bullet and seating depth works best. The big difference in the newer cartridges, compared to the 30-06, is the "match style chamber" which has a tube of freebore, typically with a tiny clearance to the bullet (often less than a thousandth of an inch) prior the throat's taper through the rifling. This tight freebore tube aligns the bullet better with the bore to reduce wobble. This type of chamber is not new. Weatherby Magnums since the 1940's have the same thing, even with a tighter fit than most new cartridges ( four tenths of a thousandth of an inch clearance).

@jfess1911 3 месяца назад

@@FranzAntonMesmer These days, there is more than one 6.5x55 chamber, but you are probably asking about the older military one. The older military design often called the 6.5x55 Swedish MAUSER has some cylindrical freebore since it was designed use of a long, 156 grain round-nose bullet. They were loaded with a long section of the full-diameter shank extending out from the front of the case. This is why often you need to load modern bullets well beyond the official COAL to get anywhere near the lands. When cartridges began to be designed around spitzer bullets and their longer ogives, the section of freebore was often shortened or eliminated, as when the 30-03 (220 grain round nose bullet) became the 30-06. This, in fact, was eventually done with the 6.5x55. In the 1980's, as I recall, the European C.I.P. created the "6.5x55 SE" has only a narrow-angle cone and no section of parallel freebore and a higher max chamber pressure. SAAMI adopted this new design in 1993 under the name 6.5x55 Swedish (without the "Mauser"), but kept a lower pressure of 51,000psi using the transducer method. This change causes a lot of confusion, so it is important to know which chamber you have.

@jfess1911 3 месяца назад

@@FranzAntonMesmer Looking into the 7.57 Mauser, it appears that it originally used bullets that had a gently tapered section of ogive prior to the rounded nose. It is similar to a lot of 30-30 RN bullets, if that make sense. In contrast, the original 6.5x55 bullet transitioned more rapidly from the full-diameter shank to the rounded ogive. In other words, there is less of the full-diameter shank sticking out of the case of the early 7x57 load. There is a picture of a loaded 7x57 with a hunting bullet of this shape on the Wikipedia page, if that helps.

Barrel is 20" , 7mm-08 , was 10 lb!! And I have no problem carrying that rifle for me to go on hunting!!!

@johanlarsson3644 3 месяца назад

First of all Mr. Spomer, i just want to say keep up the good work. Love watching your videos and listen to your podcasts. The 30-06 is one of the big workhorses when it comes to riflecartridges. Just as the 7x57, 8x57is, 6,5x55 swede and the 9,3x62. Its versatile, hard hitting with the right bullet. What you showed here in this video is not making the accuracy justice, but i also understand that you cant sit and try 20-25 different brands of ammo and maybe 4 different loads in every brand. I live in Sweden and my first rifle was a tikka m558 308w Rh, it was a bit of a struggle since i am left handed and with a very dominant left eye, but it made me a very good shot since i always had to make sure: will it kill the animal? Since reloading takes a bit longer when you hold a right handed rifle as a left handed rifle. I later switched to Husqvarna Carl Gustaf model 1900 (think it was called Husqvarna Model 9000 in the Usa) from the late 1970s chambered in 30-06 topped of with a meopta optika 6 2,5-15x44 and a swedish made silencer and i did go the long route, i have tried about 22 different loads of ammo from maybe 12 different brands of ammo. And my conclusion is that my rifle loves 150 grains to 185 grains when it comes to factory loads and when i do my part behind the trigger, i have sub moa groups with Norma Oryx 180 gr at a 100 meters. Gonna see what i can do with 200 grains and maybe 220 grains bullets later on when i get my reloading bench complete. Would love to see you do a similar video on the 6,5x55 Swede like the one you did on the 9,3x62. I also have a 6,5x55 swede, that rifle is also a Husqvarna Carl Gustaf model 1900 left handed. Maybe should include used rifles like 30-50 years old rifles in this type of series too Over and out from Sweden

@AntonGudenus 3 месяца назад

The "single set trigger" is actually refering to a style of set trigger, we Europeans have available to us. It allows you to push the trigger blade forward and "set" the trigger, so it becomes a very very low pull weight trigger. There are also double set triggers, where you have two triggers. The back trigger to set the front trigger. Though that Sako 90 you have there seems to be a single stage trigger, as it has a trigger-guard with a hole for adjustment. The reason the US doesn't get those super light triggers, is that you guys have laws, that prohibit extremely light triggers. Here you'd have Sako explaining their two triggers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-muZKNDwwwjI.html

The fact that the grouping issues where all the same on each rifle & shooting the same ammo, tells me that it's recoil control issue. & after rewatching it I noticed that on the 3rd fliers the recoil on the fliers was different, with the muzzle jumping more then the stacked shoots. So, that tells me that there was chamber pressure differences & even a small increase of even 5 can can make it where it's hard to control muzzle jump & twist in the recoil. However I was surprised that the rifle with the muzzle break was having the same issues

The inaccuracies is more than likely the bench that he’s using. It’s wobbling around during the recoil. To properly show a rifles performance a bench should be made of concrete. I’ve noticed over the years watching that when he uses this bench set up. It’s not great accuracy.

Savage 110 👍

@leonhart2452 3 месяца назад

Yes, the savage 110 and 10 have had screw in barrels from the start. These screw in barrels and the floating bolt head is one reason they shoot so well. The screw in barrel made setting headspace easy and accurate. The floating bolt head evens out stresses from poorly fitted locking lugs. A lot of manufacturers started copying some of Savage's way of doing things. Most of the budget rifles have to help reduce manufacturing prices down.

@BusterBibb 3 месяца назад

Yeah…all of my Savages are excellent shooters though I always give the rifles new laminate sticks snd epoxy bedded…using EGW HD mounts and rings..scope mount bedded and scope/scope rings aligned. Never use a Wheeler Engineeting scope alignment bars. I use Kokopelli alignment bars..but I think Kokopelli has since folded but I think the guy who made these passed away..I think.

Savage 110 with the Accutrigger & Accufit Accustock options is a very nice package.. I've got my trigger pull down to 1.5 ... my groups are under 2 moa ... would be better if I was a better marksman

3:54 No, Ron. They don’t “cast” carbon fiber.

@jaydunbar7538 3 месяца назад

While you’re technically correct that it’s not cast, the method he is referring to is compression molding which is frequently called casting by those not familiar with the industry.

Thank you for confirming that I’m correct and that Ron is not familiar with the industry.

@jaybailleaux630 3 месяца назад

I've found $$ and rifle accuracy, not that well tide together . Looks and features has more to do with cost. I'll keep my old Walmart plastic stock Remington 700 30-06. Maybe replace the stock with laminate wood. Accuracy is luck of the draw with factory rifles.

Carbon fiber is layered, not cast.

@jaydunbar7538 3 месяца назад

You’re attempting to correct someone and you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Yes carbon fiber CAN be layered, but compression molding is also a popular way to form it and is frequently called casting by those who aren’t familiar with the industry.

@scottstruif3939 3 месяца назад

@@jaydunbar7538 Rifle stocks are not made by compression molding carbon fiber, as you and Ron suggest. Stocks are made by applying layers of carbon fiber fabric, saturated with resin, to a foam skeleton of a rifle stock.

@jimdavis3150 3 месяца назад

It's strange but every Christensen arms rifle I've seen and shot have all had terrible accuracy. I guided hunters for a guy that had one in .300 RUM and it didn't matter what bullet weight you put through whether it was factory ammo or handloads. The best group we got out of was 4 inches. A friend of mine, son had a Christensen arms in 7mm REM mag and it had the same terrible accuracy with factory or handloaded ammo and another friend of mine has one in .300 Winchester mag and the best group he's gotten from it is 4 inches as well. Every one of these rifles is in that 2000$ range and they certainly don't impress me or the guys that own them.

@wiregrassga 3 месяца назад

Just confirms what experience over the years has shown me, expensive rifles are not going to shoot any better than moderately priced rifles. A Ruger American in .308 we recently tested on my range shot consistent sub minute of angle groups with two different factory 150 gr hunting loads and two of my 150 gr handloads using Hornady SST bullets. For what these expensive rifles cost their performance is only satisfactory.
