[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 908762, member: 28191"] With the longer barrel, a 30-06 makes a lot of sense and the extra length lets the powder capacity really make a difference over the .308 Winchester. Do impress upon your gunsmith that you want an accurate shooter for long range hunting and target work. The 30-06 is seldom chosen for these roles, and you don't want your smith thinking you don't care about accuracy. A custom 26-27" barrel in 30-06 (or 30-06 AI) can fill the bill and also have a very long barrel life, especially if you shoot heavy bullets with slower powders. [/QUOTE]
