Good luck on the draw. I had to respond about your rifle. I am 65 now and when I was a boy I got my grandfather's infield 30-06. My dad had put a nice stock and a 4 power Weaver scope on it. But as soon as I could afford it, while I was still in high school I took it to Scotty at the Gift House in Ogden and had him put a Leapold 3x9 scope on it. And that is the only big game rifle I have ever had. I grew up hunting a private ranch, The Claton/McFarland ranch, in Easy Canyon and back then and we all needed the Deer meat to survive the year. And we party hunted to fill every tag. I shot 4 or 5 deer a year. Over 20 four points or better and my biggest, a 8 by 7 point 32 inch spread. Plus many elk and in 1976 I shot enough coyote to pay for my Ruger 22-250 and another Leapold 3x9.
But I still use my old infield 30-06, with the military trigger that you have to take the play out of before you start your squeeze, for big game.
