Well, thats the first sniper I ever heard suggest a 30-06. But I guess its possible. I am not sure if I ever seen a tactical rifle chambered in a 30-06.

I load for my best friend with a FN A1 in 308Win of course. I highly suggest this rifle. It comes with a chrome lined barrel 1 in 12 twist, a Winchester 70 type claw action, McMillian stock, and badger base. You can get them for around 1300 dollars. Out of the box, with Remington 150gr coreloks, it shot less than 1.1" groups over and over. With Black hills match 168gr, shoots less than .5" all day long and will be guanteeed to this. But I reloaded some 168gr matchkings with 47gr of Varget, and match the blackhills stuff or better. Only problem is this sucker is very heavy. But what you would want out of a tactical rifle. Reason I went with the FN is the chrome lined barrel is a dream. I mean no fouling whatsoever or very little. I can shoot 40 rounds thru it and put wipeout down the barrel and 15min later clean out all powder fouling, and thats it. No copper fouling. You try that with a savage or Howa or remington 700P. It also comes in 300WSM.
