i have 6 or seven 3006's and one in particular is a nice workin mans FN. i thought about rebarreling it but wanted a little advice. what caliber could i rechamber to in a standard length mauser. it has a really nice barrel insde. thought about 300 norma magnum. love something european or not too modern. remington and winchester make me yawn...

Seems to me the .308 Norma would be the classic re-chamber.

I made up a .30/.388 some time back, then re-chambered that to .300 Win. Mag. It was a great shooter on an Old Model (30Rem.) 1917 '06.

An even more interesting ctg. would be an 8x68S necked to .30.

I think that is the .30 Bayer or .30 Bauer - set a new WR at 1000yards a while back, at 1 7/8" for 5 shots. That of course has been beaten twice - down to around 1 3/8" now - still the same round, I think, with 180gr., or maybe a 187gr. FB match bullet.

I might have some of the details wrong, however a .30 on the 8x68S case would be an interesting round.
