SHOT Show Fail

[vfrdrvr]

Both are bad a$$ cartridges. I feel your pain. I also have a pass-down Rem 700 30-06 in need of a barrel. Near perfect condition on the outside but somehow the bore got pitted in the last 4-5 inches. I may just have it cut back to 16"-18" and load the heaviest bullets I can find for a brush gun.

Sounds like my gun. It's an early 60s model (5 digit serial number) that my Dad gave me 45 years ago when I was 14 to go deer hunting. Like yours, the barrel is pitted about 5 inches from the muzzle. I've talked with a couple of folks about rebarreling. Darryl Holland told me has a lights out 6.5-06 reamer. I may do that this year and wait and see what happens with the Gren/.264 offerings next year.

Sorry for the hijack.
