    Rebarreling my .30-06

    I picked up a nice Remington 700 ADL on the cheap and I might be interested in rebarreling it. It is currently chambered in .30-06 but I already have another .30-06 and I don't really need two. What should I have it rebarreled to? The only two rifle calibers that I own are .22LR and .30-06, so I...

    Chopping down a .243

    I got one of the Dick's Sporting Goods ADL Varmint specials on black friday in .243, and I'm thinking about getting the barrel chopped down to something under 20". Thoughts? What short barrel length would be ideal? I was thinking 18", but I don't really have any reason for picking that number. I...

    ADL .30-06 not shooting straight

I shot the gun over the weekend to test the zero, and it was shooting about a 6" group...
