[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1494386, member: 30671"] It's shooting too good as a .30-06 right now! If it proves it can do it a little bit of time it might stay that way. The thing with rifles that take a while, is sometimes components change as you go. Bullets in particular. 6.5 bullets are coming in weights more interesting to me. Steve from Hammer is looking at a 160ish 6.5. If that one works-Rich Sherman looked at the 6.5x65R, and it can be formed into basically a rimmed Sherman. Probably could be left alone for lighter bullets, but a long 160 benefits from a bit more capacity, and the single shots lack of magazine. I bought the rifle as a donor, but it's tough to chuck a perfectly good barrel, and a little work to shoot out a .30-06. Glad to see your still out there! Was the picture visible? [/QUOTE]
