30-06 & chocolate ice cream

30-06 & chocolate ice cream.

Now what could those two have in common?

I'm going to go out on a limb, and state my view that after inventing that cartridge and that flavor.........they just could have stopped.

What do you think?

I think it woulda simplified things and I can't argue with the K.I.S.S. approach. But then again shooting different calibers is so much fun and variety is the spice of life...

 

[dmazur]

Well, my wife has a .243, and I've been allowed to shoot it once in a while. I do have to admit it has almost no recoil, but the bullets are just kinda small...

I happen to agree with you about the .30-06 (and chocolate ice cream, too), but there are those misguided souls out there that like something different.

In rifles and ice cream, there's no accounting for taste.

 

[A and O]

To be perfectly frank. There are not IMHO any situations calling for a weapon that can't be answered by the 30-06, 45ACP and 12 gauge or 22LR. Most everything else offered is just fine tuning.

As far as the chocolate ice cream. No Thank You.

 

[toolmanroberts]

Ditto. The 30-06 can't be beat. The same with the ice cream. Enough said.

What happens when your favorite ice cream is butter pecan?

 

[CoastieShep]

Moose tracks and a .308 works for me.

As was once said to me after a particularly trying set of circumstances in a country far, far away: There are very few situations that cannot be resolved by the judicious application of a minor amount of high explosive!!!!!!
And to continue on this thread; go back to the hootch and have a chocolate ice cream, or any other flavor that is available.
Good shooting!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure, but I suspect that you'll have to like one of those magnum's that's real short.

 

[Mike J]

I really like my .30-06 but I'd rather have vanilla or strawberry than chocolate thanks.

 

[W L Johnson]

How about Pistachio and .308/7.62x51

I am going to expand that a bit and say that you can add .25-06 and .223 to that list.

 

[Toaster]

Plenty of calibers and almost every flavor that Ben n Jerry have to offer. Because trying all of them is so much fun!

 

[Equestrian]

variety is the spice of life but sure do love my 06 its a classic and a tight shooter too

 

[Alec]

Yep, I'm stuck on practical calibers too, but one day I will own something that makes people raise an eyebrow when I tell them what it eats.

 

[danprkr]

Whew, I was afraid the answer was going to be something along the lines of they shouldn't be in the same vicinity because one gums up the other, and the other deflavors the one.

According to most of the women in my life, the same can be said for a pint of Häagen-Dazs, though they don't all agree on chocolate.

 

[FLAvalanche]

I'm a new technology type of guy and I like to be different. I like the people who take something that everyone else thinks is just fine and reinvent it.

That said I like .308, .45GAP and Lime Sherbert.

 

[Blackbeard]

Darn, I thought this thread would have some splatter pics in it.

 

[postalnut25]

I absolutely love the versatility of the 30-06. From varmint loads all the way up to moose loads. It just can't be beat.

However, Mint Chocolate Chip is the way to go.

 

[1911fan]

Any European flavor of ice cream (far fewer chemicals and way more butterfatty flavour) and 7.92x57JS--the cartridge the 30-06 was invented to imitate. It'll do everything an '06 will do without beating you to death in the process, although I might stand still for a .303...

[buck460XVR]

....in '06, Vanilla ice cream was the most popular flavor commercially available. It still goes well with 180 gr JSPs.

Ain't much one can't do with $700 and a thutty-aught-six-Cooper

That is a lot of chocolate ice cream!
*grin*

Man cannot live by the '06 alone...or Choc. Ice Cream. In 1906 they still hadn't designed the .260Rem., the 7mm-08Rem., the .280Rem., or the .375H&H...just a few of my favorites (though the .45-70Govt., .22LR., 7x57mmMauser, & .45ACP were going strong by that time).
