I just completed the breakin on this new rifle and thought that I would go with a 30-06 not so much to be different or retro but to use the extra power of the 06 to get some extra range. This has a Remington action, McMillan A5 stock, Douglas barrel (25 inch), DD Ross bolt handle, DD Ross bottom metal, DD Ross bolt release and DD Ross base. It is topped with Badger Max 50 rings and will soon sport a US Optics SSDS but has a Leupold 3.5-10x40mm FFP MK4.
