All,
I am looking to find a long range rifle with certain specs and am having little trouble finding it, so I thought I’d throw it out for some input.
Specifically, a .30-06 bolt action w/ a 24-26” bbl, detachable magazine, and medium bull barrel. Essentially, I want something that can reach way out there, in a very versatile caliber, and has a barrel that won’t melt down when I go to range for a few hours of shooting (my post ’64 Model 70 just isn't cutting it).
I like the FN PSR a lot but it is not available in .30-06. Remington has a few Model 700’s, Savages -- but not I am not finding them in '06. Of course, they have a plethora of options if I go with .308.
Recommendations or comments on the .308 vs .30-06?
