This is not a WTS or Ill Take it thread, paws off
Anyway, I'm thinking of unloading my M1 Garand and getting out of 30-06 Entirely. Here's my reasoning.
It's an interesting rifle, obviously it has the very cool historical aspect about it, but shooting it just doesn't do it for me like with other rifles. I've gotten a little more pragmatic about shooting with age. What was a piece of history to me before now is a powder hungry semi auto that throws brass into oz and uses those ever more expensive .308 projectiles. Plus I do not find it to be anything terribly special in the accuracy department.
I don't particularly enjoy reloading for it and I don't shoot it very much because of this. Do you think it's worth keeping as an investment piece or just unload it and get something more interesting out of it? Talk me out of it.
