What are the things I should consider in building a 6/06?
I'm planning on giving my smith a dummy cartridge so he can set the throating up for that [85 gr TSX] combo, hopefully the rifle will like that bullet...
Not sure on the action yet, Remington doesnt allow resale of its 700 actions any more, so you cant pick one up at Brownells, so might just buy a beater 700 with a .308 boltface and go from there.
Also might go with a custom action, as long as it can be set up for magazine feed.
Am looking at the Lawton 7000, which is essentially a Rem 700 clone, they are 875, a little pricey but they have a good rep and you dont have to blueprint them.
