flaco Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Actually, bilurey- There's a 30-06 on one of the auction sites right now. The gun's not ugly, a full length stock, but the seller--a dealer in PA--refers to the "original barrel." It's an original 7.65 barrel with a s/n that matches the 1909 receiver. Doesn't seem to deter the bidding, so far. Although it's still below what you might pay for a nice 09 action. If I weren't so lazy I'd email the seller and see if the magazine has been lengthened. Dollars to doughnuts it hasn't. flaco I'm still obsessed with the 7.65. Especially if, as Z says, they're ballistically somewhere between the .308 and the 30-06. The 30-06 kicks too much for me, and I'd choose the 308 for it's accuracy... if I didn't have to look at the cases. Am I the only one who thinks they're ugly?

Doble Troble Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Am I the only one who thinks they're ugly? It's like looking at a short, fat, bald man...naked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z1r Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 http://www.pacifictoolandgauge.com/index.asp Pacific Tool and Gauge PO BOX 2549 - 598 Ave C White City, Oregon 97503 1-541-826-5808 FAX: 541-826-5304 I never had much use for the .308 until I got one. Sure, the .30-06 is better, especially with heavier bullets, but I've grown to respect the .308. Enough so that I've bought built or bartered for 5 of them in the last year or two. I've built a few more but they went on to find new homes. One thing in favor of it and the .30-06 is lots of cheap factory ammo and bullet selection second to none. A lot of my selection criteria for cartridges is based on what ifs. For the what ifs I've come up with the .30-06 fits the bill. Now, if we want to talk about reality, the things I've actually hunted and am likely to hunt in the near future, the .308 would be a replacement that I could find no fault in. For all intents and purposes, these three cartridges are so similar as to be triplets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riflebuff Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Thanks Z for the address, been needing a .323" indicator rod for some time now. Maybe I can get one from them. Thanks, Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
