I feel the need to build on the .30-06 case but not sure what direction to go. I am actually going to do a classic hunting rifle first (nice wood stock) with just a plain .30-06. The .30-06 is one of the 5 firearms that every one should own. The other 4 being a Colt 1911, a .22 bolt action rifle, a lever .30-30 and a 12 gauge pump shot gun. I have the other 4 covered a couple times over so now I just need a .30-06. After that one I want to do yet another bench gun that I will probably never use. I have given some thought to a 6mm-06 or something like the .25-06AI. One other thought was to go to something like a .338-06. If I order the barrel now I might have it by Christmas....maybe.
