30-06 ai

[Charlie38]

Anyone have a 30-06 AI? How do you like it and what type of performance do you get from it? 150's,165's, 180's???
How much is it to get a factory 30-06 re-chambered?

Thanks

Your probably looking at $100-$200 bucks depending on who does the job. Basicly the same as a .30-06 except maybe + 100 fps. If you want to really throw the heavies go for a magnum.

Never owned a 30-06 AI, but had a 30 Gibbs for quite a while. The 30 Gibbs is an improved 30-06 as well, but with the shoulder moved forward a bit. It would deliver 2925 with the 180 grain bullet, so, as mentioned, about a 100 fps gain over the standard chambering. Eagleye.

I have a 30-06 AI built on a Whitworth commercial Mauser. Bought it already chambered so I don't know what it cost to do. Other AI's have had done ran me $150-200. I get 2850+ fps with 180 bullets, if memory serves. Haven't fired it in years though. - dan
