I could have sworn a while ago I saw heavy barrelled .30-06 offerings from Remington and Savage in their current line up. Now I can't seem to find them on the websites, surely they make a heavy barrelled .30-06 rifle? Am I missing something?
It'd be news to me if they had a heavy barrelled -06 in recent years, I've never seen one besides rebarrel jobs. I think .308 is all you get if you don't buy a magnum.
Remington used to offer their sendero in .30-06 (I believe I remember correctly) and savage has offered their 110FP in .30-06 before as well. There are not many heavy barreled -06's out there. Though if you live in Europe you could get the Tikka Varmint in -06, but not here in the USA.
Of course, you can get a remington 40-XB in .30-06 as well.
Simply a matter of supply and demand... there is not a huge demand for them
I knew I'd seen a 110FP in .30-06 once I've been toying with the idea of a T3 Varmint in .30-06 and turning it into a Tactical, but I don't like the smooth cheekpiece on the T3 stocks, if only there were aftermarket stocks made them.
Just a thought, but I've looked into it a little and I think someone could take a McMillan stock inletted for a Sako 75 and modify it to fit the Tikka fairly easily. You'd have to look at both actions out of the stock, but I think it could be done. If I were to do it, I think I would use Sako floormetal and mag, I think they'll fit.
I hava a Savage 112BVSS in 30-06 that I bought when they first came out with the accutrigger in 03. I have noticed that the last few years they don't offer that caliber any more. Maybe it will be worth more some day. Wishfull thinking I guess :wink:
