This is a little off point, but it's interesting to me how scarce Type M's in .30-06 seem to be. I've only ever seen one for sale. There are many Type B's in this caliber, and a good many Type A's, but (seemingly) far fewer in Type M. I would think a Type M in .30-06 would be a great hunting rifle.

I don't know how indicative this is, but I have owned two Type M's in .30-'06, and still have one at the present. The first one was unaltered and I was loath to change its pristine condition, but the one I now own had been reworked by Griffin & Howe at some point, presumably in the 1930's, and exemplifies all the alterations I would have made myself, with the exception of the height of the scope mount. I would have mounted the scope as low as possible and consigned the Lyman 48 slide to the butt trap.
