    Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago?

    im sure it would do fine. lots of lightweight long range rigs out there for hunting and such. just might have to keep it to a slow 3 shot group vs a 5 or 10 round grouping like the heavy bench guns. I don't mind the old girl right now I just found out the hard way that I cant lay in there and...

    Remember the Great .30-06 Debate 10 Years Ago?

    I actually just had a PM conversation with Montana Marine over loads. I look forward to messing with this soon but I will say that I have a bum shoulder so until my rifle becomes a 24" M24 Bartlein with a fat bastard brake in a M24 stock, I wont be shooting the fast heavies. the box of 180gr...

    good deer/elk caliber

    30-06 will help you keep similar bullets for the 308 as well as give you a couple extra hundred feet per second to slightly extend the range for you. fits your 270 bolt face so its just a barrel which you have already stated you don't mind. granted this is just paper and not real world data, I...

    Best caliber for =<1500 yard shooting

    I will add the 30-06 to the mix. ive been doing a lot of research on it and with the ability to push 190gr bullets up to 2900fps in a 26" or 2800 in a 24" barrel, it will not go transonic until 1600 or so depending on your elevation and such. get 300 win mag ballistics with a smaller case using...

    Factors on a first long range rifle..

    I agree that shooting a bunch of heavy 190gr loads in an '06 for F-class can probably start to hurt a bit and be tiring but the OP also was talking at more long range hunting as an option. the 30-06 loaded down to m118LR specs, or m72, I could imagine would do fine for the f-class matches...

    Target rounds not good for protection?

    ive seen that the fmj ammo is hit or miss whether it will be effective to stop a threat quickly. hits in the right place matter. ive seen a single 9mm fmj bullet stop a guy in his tracks as he doubled over and started screaming. saw another who took 11 rounds from a couple m4s before he finally...

    Manners prototype M1A stock

    why not just run it with a usgi fiberglass style inletting and have it bedded? much easier and selling the ones that need bedding beats not selling any. would love to see a t2a style stock for a bush rifle.

    Factors on a first long range rifle..

    why not look into a 30-06 build? ammo is everywhere which is good if you want factory loads and great if you know a bunch of other hunters with 30-06 as its a great source for brass.. you can reload it up to the light end of 300 win mag. couple people have taken it out to 1 mile so its more than...

    Rifle Scopes Need Advice - Remington 700 308

    for that budget, my money would be in the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x as well. I plan to use the same scope on my 30-06 build. Their warranty helps sell it as well.

    Primer pocket crimp removal tool input

    My experience has been much different. Ive had a few in some range brass buckets that would prime ok and some that wouldn't. I started junking the few I would get occasionally. My buddy just bought 3K of them and the first and only 2 we tried deprimed with a noticeable "ping" and wouldn't take...

    Picking a Stock Style for the Remington 700

    I personally prefer no butt hook. like you said, elevation adjustments can be made a bit easier. that said, you can get a "cammed" rear bag from gunnersgear for flat bottom stocks as well.

    Left Handed M24 build [Parts Gathering]

    I just mentioned the long action 30-06 because if you want to rebarrel it, you can still have it chambered for 308 if you wish and it will be more true to the m24.

    Primer pocket crimp removal tool input

    after using a reamer, would it be a good idea to use a primer pocket uniformer as well? or is that unnecessary?

    Left Handed M24 build [Parts Gathering]

    why not start with a $379 R700 ADL in 30-06 from Academy Sports? unless you already have the short action to work with. I will be building a M24 style rifle in 30-06. starting with my current hunting rifle as a base. can do anything the 308 can do and up to the lighter 300 win mag loads. i also...

    Left Handed M24 build [Parts Gathering]

    Converting an HS Precision stock from RH to LH - SP Sniper Chat Here is a thread that shows how to convert a RH stock to a LH stock. And as far as I know, the M24 was originally a long action based on the army wanting to use the 30-06 but not having enough ammo of the same lot for testing and...
