I decided to build myself a precision 30-06. I was leaning towards a FN SPR in 308, but after doing some researching, the 30-06 will do everything I want and then some. This is the plan as I have come up with as now.
Use; Primarily will be a hunting rig, but would also use it to punch paper and ring steel.
Action: M70 CRF LA or Montana 1999
Barrel: Bartlein 5R 1 in 10" finished at 26 inches. What do you all recommend as a contour? I was thinking of a light palma or a #3B from their catalog...
Stock: Leaning towards a Manners MCS-TA, but also like the McMillan HTG. Thoughts?
If I want to push 180 grain bullets and up, I will have to throated as such correct? Would this be something to talk to the gunsmith about?
On the fence with either running a DBM or a floorplate; Thoughts?
Once I have all the pieces, I will be in need of a good smith to put it together. Thinking GA Precision, but if anyone else has any good GS recommendations let me know.
