Ted, your local CMP affiliated club could probably put that to good use should you ever decide to donate it to their youth program.

I didn't have a '06 either until about a year ago.

One time, I did have a Rem 700 in that caliber until I traded it for an 1100 Skeet 'B'.

The Garand adventure has ended up as a 3 rifle project, one of which now wears an optic. Fascinating rifle in all respects.

There is also a Sharps replica on order, so my shotgunning time will be somewhat reduced in the future.

I should have never have visited the 500 yard steel gong range...
