Thread: 30-06 Imp

Its been a busy weekend

This is the second 30-06 improved I have built, the first was a test piece on a Rem 700 SA to get an idea of performance.



It has all the usual light bits on a Rem 700 LA, it weighs 8.4 lbs, 3.790 with the Night Force SHV & Hardy suppressor.



Being a 30 cal man the client wanted a bit more grunt than his 308 & not as much as his 338.



This one doesn't go quite as fast as the first one, a slow barrel I guess, it still has pretty good performance all the same.



Recoil is moderate with the suppressor & basically non existent with the T2 Terminator muzzle brake fitted, bit noisy though.

I also did some velocity testing with 208 Amaxes, 215 & 230 Target Hybrid Bergers, the results were very impressive

I can see me building another longer barrelled version in the near future
