Just picked up a couple 06s. One was A Remington 30S Their sported version of the 1917 Enfield. No scope but had a Redfield peep. Came with 2 full boxes of 150 gr Core Lockt ammo. Shoots pretty well...but heavy. Price was ok at 175 bucks. 2nd was a Rem 721 with a Williams peep and for some odd reason a Williams side mount with a period 1 inch 4X Kollmorgan scope post crosshairs reticle shot 5 rounds of the old Red and green box ammo I got with the 30S. well under an inch with the first shot taken with the peep but at 50 yds. The other 4 with scope. Shot to same point which really surprised me. Paid 225 for it. 30S is going. Gonna keep the 721. With the peep at 50 yes the 30S shot under 2 inches. If I had full use of the sight in my right eye..bet it would do better. The ol '06 is still a great caliber
