Does the std Featherweight barrel have enough beef to safely chamber a 30/06 to Ackley Improved? | ||

The barrel will be a .308 either way. Barrel thickness is not a limiting factor in this case. The rifle merely needs to be rechambered, although not much will be gained in the AI version of the .30-06. Doug | |||

I had a stainless 375 H&H bbl turned down to the ftw contour and love it. The smith who turned it down is well known and claimed it was no problem. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

To do it correctly the barrel will have to be set back one full turn. Will that affect how your barrel contour fits the stock? I have had several AIs and larger wildcats the gain in the 30-06 would be marginal. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
