[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1936257, member: 63925"] I love the 06 and it is now greatly under appreciated for what it can do in most any situation. You can breathe new performance into it by just going with a 26" barrel that will seriously improve its performance with virtually anything you run down the barrel. You want a 180 to do 2800? Easily with 26" barrel with a lot of different powders. It doesn't have the whiz bang marketing of Hornady nor is it called a CM. But what it does have is over 120 year pedigree that has spawned so many "children" for us to shoot. Personally, I would rebarrel it with a 26", trigger, good recoil pad, see how the stock works and go from there. You will have a rifle that still has its original caliber from your Dad and still be a worthy rifle for most applications. The 06 is still a caliber that can run with anything within normal hunting distances that we all still seem to shoot our animals. It is still a "big boy" caliber so don't try to make it into something it was never intended to be. [/QUOTE]
