logged in to express my gratitude to the forum members as they have been instrumental is shaping my decision to buy a new iof 30.06 on my second NPBR licence. It was not finished properly therefore was facing the chambering problem but has been resolved after a visit to the gunsmith and the action is really smooth . . beyond expectation. this is much better than the older model.
A special thanks to Winnie (the greatest advocate of iof 30.06)
and Katana for the informative posts.Best Wishes
