Re: Another "bucket list" Grail Gun joins the collection
Yes, its clear as mud from the quotes. The 30-40's were marked 30 US and I believe 30 Army?. The 30-03 was marked 30 gov 03 and the 06's were marked 30 gov 06. They may have marked them otherwise, and differently at different times, but that's my recollection from the ones I've seen. Sheds no light...

Re: Another "bucket list" Grail Gun joins the collection
I am not doubting you, but it could have also been the 30-40 Krag, that was known as the "Army" also at that time. Was the 30-06 being chambered at that time? That would 1909, that is only 3 years after the 30-06 was introduced. Steve Here's the quote from his book: My rifles were an army...

Probably a .22WMR, it would take all of the animals in NY with proper shot placement.
I probably wouldn't have to worry much about people, but the .22WMR would be effective on them also.
I would use my Marlin bolt action rifle as the platform for the .22WMR.
