While the above conversation is as complicated as quark physics, i enjoyed it nevertheless.

Ab - I suspect you pay reduced rates? How much can the rest of us civvies expect to pay for ammo of various calibers esp 30.06? I handled a shotgun cartridge once - A bank guard at my local bank gave me a " Shaktiman Express " cart to handle.The red one.I asked him how much and he said " Bahuth saara paisa ".

Wonder how much it was, seeing it boldly said " Imported primer " on the paper covering.
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

Skyman,
What reduced rates are you on about?
I am a civilian.
I pay exactly the same rates as everyone else on the range.
And where are you planning on shooting a .30-06, that you expect a state association to sell ctgs for the same? 300 m ranges are not exactly very common in our country.

Don't association members get ammo at reduced rates? And no, i was talking about 30.06 in the open market.

Association members do not get ammo at reduced rates.However,we buy ammo at highly inflated rates.Skyman,do you have a license or is this thread purely for academic purposes?

Since the bolt locks into the barrel,would it not be easy to make a tubular receiver from steel with a hanger welded on for the trigger unit and a mag well to take the magazine and a ventilated handguard? How about turning the IOF 30-06 into a tube gun? ideas... ideas :wink:

It wouldnt be too difficult to turn the IOF into a tube gun, all that you need is a chain-stamping MS sheet for the ventilated shroud around the barrel, an angle grinder to grind away the unnecessary excess in the magazine well, and some car patch filler!! if executed properly the results will be rewarding, if done in haste, well..you will end up with a very expensive tomato stake for the veggie garden! :mrgreen:

Winnie,

There's really no need for a new receiver, the existing design does the job perfectly, I have heard of some gunsmith up North making 'steel' receivers for the IOF .30-06, I personally cannot comprehend the need for this given the relationship between the receiver with the bolt, it would also raise a lot of skeptical eyebrows as far as the legality of making a component which may effectively contribute to the function/manufacture of a firearm part or part thereof. If you can carve out a receiver?? well...Nuff said. :shock:

I personally would not consider this existing design whilst conjuring up a 300m target rifle, I would much prefer a solid barrel, precisely threaded and headspaced onto a receiver with conical lugs and an alloy chassis for the barreled action to sit on inside a one-piece stock in a synthetic/laminated target pattern.

My opinion . . go for iof 30.06 . . most accurate of the available lot
or if you can spend more than 7 Lacs . . search for a foreign made one that is close to it in accuracy.

Best wishes

Does any member own or has owned or heard of anyone who owns a Winchester Model 1895 lever action repeater chambered for the .30-06 cartridge? I would be glad to hear from someone who does or has done so. Such rifles seem to be very rare.

Winchester chambered the M1895 for both the .30-03, and then the .30-06, though I don't know what the production numbers were. When they re-introduced the rifle, the first chamberings were .270 WCF, a strange choice, and .30-06. Have to say that the trigger on the original was better, mine has a trigger pull that's several pounds heavier and rather gritty. Other than that, it's a M1895. And "Browning" was clever enough to provide the loading procedure for rimmed rounds in the user manual.
