Right? FN 98’s are hard to beat. And it’s not often you see them this cheap anymore. I’m 30-06 rich right now. I may consider having this bored to 338-06, 35 Whelen or 9.3 x 62. Or, maybe not.
That's a pretty small bbl to go to a .358" or .366" cal.
The. 30-06 M50 I have was made 1951. OD muzzle diameter is 0.533. It would make a pretty thin wall at the muzzle if rebored to 0.366. The barrel would have to be cut back to 18" to have 0.100" wall thickness.
