[QUOTE="ShooterMedic, post: 648789, member: 19045"] First off congrats on a great gun, As Rocknwell stated the 30-06 is a great long range gun with the right ammo. As for how the 30-06 and 308 compare, the 30-06 can be loaded hotter than the 308 due to the fact the 30-06 is larger and can hold more powder. but the design of the 308 is more effiecent in the way it burns that powder. As for which is better that is one of the greatest debates of gun the universe. Now what can you do to make it shoot better. First off a deep clean!! If you have pits in your barrel use a lapping compound like JB Bore paste, and make that barrel shine. It you are like Most of us, you dont have a ton of money to go throwing around, so things like a new trigger and such will be a work in progress. I would take the rifle into a gun smith and have them do a trigger job and work the action over. It will work more now. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
