hey all,
The barrel on my winchester model of 1917 30-06 has just about had it. Assuming the action is still in good shape, I'd like to buy a new barrel and rechamber it in a new caliber that would work as a decent pack gun. So far I have considered 6.5x55 swede, 6.5-06, and even the 9.3x62. I'd like to get your thoughts on these calibers as well as hear about other calibers that you all think may be appropriate. Thanks!
