Anything out there? Looking for a box feed Remington or Browning auto with a 10 round magazine.

The Triple K brand 10-round 30-06 magazines are available on eBay.

Not sure there is anything I would call reliable.

This one would be cool to have LOL 30-06 Automatic Colt

I'll need reliable, thinking 16-18" bbl point & shoot. Running Weldcore 180 or NPT 200 grain. Torpedoes be damned, Grizzly protection.

M 1 Garand with 168 TTSX. Done deal.

If its grizzly you worry about, I carry a Glock 20 around them most of the time. Will kill em dead.

If I have to chase a wounded brown bear in the alders I'd would really love to have one of those M1 Garands in 458 win mag.. As is a 458 win mag in bolt gun suffices.

Heavy but here is something to consider.

Interesting

A few people are making AR based 30-06.

No way I would carry a Remington Jam-o-matic with a 10 rd 3rd party mag for bear protection. Those things have enough issues with the standard 4 rd mags.

Although a BAR has a mag, it’s contained under a hinged floor plate. I guess you could try to mod one, but then there’s the issue of finding a high capacity mag. Never heard of such a thing.

What’s wrong with a 12 gauge. Tubular fed semi or pump, or an AR-12 platform. My RIA AR-12 has a 9rd mag, and is awesome shooting slugs.

With a smooth bore, I shoot sub 2.5” groups at 100 yds. Hard to believe if I didn’t experience it myself.

I've run the 10 rnd Tripple K's with my 7600 carbine just for fun. Works slick and just a crazy amount of fire power.

Benelli used to make a 10 rounder for the R1 never saw any in stock though.

If I wanted to carry a long gun for bear protection, I would much prefer this to any semi-auto sporting rifle.

Garand, 8+1=9. Close enough for government work.

Incredibly expensive, but thats probably your only choice if you just have to have an 06, not a .308

No the Garand hold a total of 8. Not 8+1

That rifle looks like it would get it done, I'm reading up on it.

Someone was making a semi BAR a while back. IIRC Shrap shot some rabbits with one, either his or Venturino’s.

Kinda bulky for backpacking…..My father bitched about carrying one all over Yurrup 1944-45. Some how he managed to shoot Expert with it in training, and won the prize of toting one.

Nothing in 30-06 I'd touch.

Buy a bolt rifle and learn how work the bolt fast, Winchesters are 5+1. You can get some 10 round box magazines for several 308's. The 18" Ruger Predator that takes AIC mags would be a contender. At close range there won't be a significant difference in velocity from a 16-18" 30-06 vs a 308.

If it HAS to be semi-auto then a Benelli 12 ga with slugs.

And I'll 2nd the notion of a 10mm with heavy Buffalo Bore or Double Tap loads.

I own a few 10 round mags for the Remington 742. Mine was 30-06. However, they would also feed my 7600 in 35 Whelen.

I wish I could be optimistic, but in 20 years, I never got a full mag to empty without a jam of some sort. This was one of those dry holes that you stick in the bottom drawer and move on.
