[QUOTE="kennygss, post: 738472, member: 41156"] What is the intended purpose of the rifle? Is a range rifle exclusively? The 06' can be VERY accurate with an 18-20" barrel, and also, very accurate with a 26", with the added benefit of being able to take advantage of some of the modern powders. A #8 is a "Heavy Target" profile, quite substantial. As far as consistency. That will come with a combination of things creating a "situation" your gun likes. Case, powder, primer, projectile, barrel, bedding, trigger all go into that pot. I have seen some very consistent rifles with light taper barrels and sporter stocks. [/QUOTE]
