[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1310473, member: 78762"] Probably comes down to ammo sales. Sako looked at what most are using for the 30-06 as a hunting cartridge which it has evolved to after the 1940s. The most popular bullet cartridge combo sold for the 30-06 or most popular combo ever sold PERIOD in any cartridge for that matter, is probably a 180 grain soft point in 30-06. Second would be a 165 grain. That would make a 1-11 twist ideal for the majority of 30-06 owners. Like others have said though, the 30-06 is so much more when a 1-10 twist and a 200 plus grain bullets are used. [/QUOTE]
