Just getting an itch to go with a classic blued action, maybe controlled round fed. What do you say? Sporterized 1903. Plenty on auctions

Another 30/06 from the back of the safe. An oberndorf type B that some smith stuck a nice pre-64 model 70 barrel on. Previous owner said his dad brought it home from Europe at the end of the was and they couldn't find cartridges for the original caliber. Best I could make out was it might have been a 6.5 x 58. I don't know for sure. I installed the Lyman 48 one day at work. Sweet.

Take a look at this thread - http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/9925390/1/husqvarna_mauser It would be hard to find something more classic than one of these. There seem to be lots of them out there right now, I recall looking at a site than had a ton of them listed, it was something like Simpsons or Simpsons Ltd. out of Illinois IIRC. I have seen some really nice ones in the $350 - $450 price range. Pretty darned good for something does not even need restocking unless you have a desire to do it. drover
223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Just make sure the description states good condition for the stock otherwise expect to be replacing it in which case just buy a new modern rifle. I really like mine and I already hunted with it, one successful shot and my freezer is full. I love the old worn finish on the stock. I'm using the iron sights so no weight added to the gun. Mine has the 20.5" barrel and weighs 6 lbs, awesome carrying gun!

Sako AIII Classic 30-06 is exactly what I would choose if I were you. This is a real classic. Plus you know it's going to be accurate.
