12. It was my dad's choice of guns, as well.

My dad passed away in 2010 at the ripe old age of 95, but he was a rancher and almost always had a gun with him. The 30-06, which he pronounced thirty ought six, was his choice of guns. He was practiced, and he didn't miss. He didn't use a scope. Yes, it had a massive kick.

Unless the model has changed drastically, there would be no way it can be disassembled. I think your theory of it being down the pants leg is interesting.

Something just doesn't seem "right" about all of this. Maybe once we have more information, it will all fall into place and make sense. But I have my doubts. The biggest obstacle seems to be that we have absolute idiots in charge.

Does it? An "imported Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle"? Quickly broken down to fit in backpack? still-prayin4rain Friday #17

Couple of screws, that simple. And you could probably set it up with quick release if you wanted. So, what do you think? Silent Type Friday #18

Here's the photo I'm referring to (there's something strange with his right leg). I'm sure others have noticed: C Moon Friday #30

That's what I've been wondering, too. I would assume a rifle shooting a target that far away Vinca Friday #32
