I had a 1917 actioned 30-06, but sold it.
The safety on those actions is as good as it get, a hallmark, and one that I'd like to see on all of my rifles.
They are strong enough for any chambering you could want.
But, they are HEAVY, and rifles made up using them are HEAVY.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
My 30-06 was built 50 years ago. I bought an action, filed the ears off, put a Dayton Traister kit in it and stocked it a curly Maple stock. It was outfitted with iron sights.
Cool rifle but too much weight for me.
