Steve/ George: I have seen the 06 do some giddy stuff from 23-24" barrels and things like H-205(long dead,but sort of similar to R17),and MRP...without whimpering.At least there were outward signs of pressures.
Still, you have to admire a cartridge that gets 2800-2900 from a 180 gr bullet...it's a payload.
That Mountain Ascent seems a pretty neat rifle!
