Excellent info there, sir...thank you for the help. Apologies for the late response, I'm working dayshift at the moment.

Were any produced in 30-06 that you are aware of? The picture I'm thinking of had the Oberndorf semi-circular cutout on the reciever ring for the longer rounds. At least I think it was done by Oberndorf...but again, not a lot of information available :/ It would seem to make sense, as a military sporter to have the caliber available, but its not European either.

You information on the feel of the rifle is excellent, thank you. The one I have seen looks like it would be close in heft and balance and point-ability to a Type B, and I was curious about that.
