My Godfather, who passed away in 2017, wanted me to deliver this to his half brother in MN. Took me two years, but I'm getting there this week.

School me, ...
Was this first a 30-06 then re-chambered for 308 Norma Mag?
Or did this come from the factory as a 308 Norma mag? Perhaps action for 308 added? I have no clue.

It's a .30-06 re-chambered to .308 Norma Magnum. It was a popular conversion in the '50s for people who wanted a .30 caliber magnum on a .30-06 length action.
