it appears to be some variety of firearm, likely the subclass known as a rifle, further broken down into the bolt action category.
Why, it must be a magical 'Boom Stick'!
Enough sarcasm from me, apologies extended. Unless your other 30-06 is a carbine with a worn out bbl, that statement is somewhat illogical.
Just saying.
We can't figure it out either.. my other 30-06 is a Browning bar... best we can figure is the semi might have a bit less power and the super tight twist of the rifling does something
Well there's your answer. The bolt action rifle uses all of it's energy to push the bullet , while the semi-auto or automatic rifles use some of the energy to cycle the action and load the next round. So the bolt action rifle would have a bit more oomph at the target. Just enough to penetrate where the semi does not.

Hmm - what kind of rifle?? I am guessing that is one of those zinc cast trigger guard / hinged floor plates? Does not fit the stock's inletting (too short ahead of the front action screw). The barrel is not military profile, so who knows from where if it has no markings. "Very, very tight rifling" - with no markings, how do you know it is 30-06? It could be 280 Remington or even 270 Winchester?? How is it possible to operate the straight bolt with a scope mounted??
I am thinking that someone swapped out the bolts. Either that or it is a Mauser 98 sporterizing project that was abandoned before they got around to modifying the bolt handle.
