[QUOTE="steve4102, post: 314336, member: 4048"] I had a 30-06 Rem 700 with 22in barrel gathering dust in my gun cabinet. Never did like that rifle. Recoil was awful for a 30-06 and accuracy was just so-so. One day I decide to spruce it up a bit with a new wild and crazy laminated stock and a AI conversion. I read all the comments and reports about the minor increases in velocity etc. etc. Didn't care, I was doing it for more than just velocity. I was doing it for velocity, accuracy, brass life, and the main reason the COOL FACTOR. Everyone should have at least one rifle with the COOL FACTOR. Well, I like it, I like it a lot. It shoots great and looks cool. I can safely push a 180gr bullet just over 2950fps. and my Lapua brass seems to last forever. Compared to my original chamber the lighter 150-165gr bullet had little gain. Velocity gain was much higher with the heavier 180-200gr bullets. [/QUOTE]
