I also have a LH Stainless Classic .30-06 so equipped. Ugly to the point that I bought a non-BOSS take off barrel to put on it. Never installed it as the BOSS shoots so well. If the noise bothers you install the CR. Even though shooting an '06 doesn't bother me, the ported BOSS makes it a cream puff from the bench. Here's the chart from my manual.
