Just spent 4 hours looking at all of them on GnG and Intersurplus , and I was looking for a 3006! The best bluing, , sight, no cracks in the stock and it came with a hoody over the front sight>I like that. I was looking at a Ruger Guide Gun in a 338 win mag and it was 1850.00 plus tax and maybe they would throw in the ship>NOT! But they do make it in the 3006 TO. So if Im not Banned I will come back some day and tell you how this 300 buck Rifle shoots!> Enjoy

Which model did you purchase?
I went with the 96 action, because its the best bag for the buck. If you read some posts they say they are not as good as the Husqvarna feed and they maybe better ?> I bought the 3006 as a throw in the back of truck gun, No scop[e just a work horse >so the best stock, bluing and sights Ps>> they made a whole ton of 96 action that where never used and then converted to other cals!> Enjoy

You may wish to investigate HOW those Swede 96 were converted to 30-06. I have a STIGA brand 30-06 here - likely made from similar receiver - most likely from an m94 receiver, but I do not know how to tell the difference among m38, m96 and m94 receivers, except by the serial number. The Swede m96, m94, m38 were all built around the 6.5x55 round, which is SHORTER than the 30-06 - so first, the magazine has to be extended to be longer - a couple ways to do that. Then, some material is removed from behind the lower bolt lug support area, to make a new feed ramp, so that the action can actually handle standard 30-06 length cartridges. In STIGA's case, the result was then "proof tested" to verify that what remained was strong enough to withstand standard 30-06 ammo - I have no qualms about firing standard 30-06 in that rifle, at all - but is not the sort of rifle to attempt to "push limits" when hand loading - I think. That receiver will be more closely related to the 1893 version of receiver, than it is to the 1898 version, although made of Swedish iron ore - probably.

Why wait for the snow to go? Winter = more range time, as nobody wants to go out.
