Last weekend I picked up a decent old 788 in 6mm Rem... ( gun show in Wichita). I would have thought the .243 win would be more popular...yesterday, I ordered a new Thumbhole varmint stock form Boyds...I didn`t want to go to the trouble of refinishing the original...
the gal taking my phone order had me measure the action screw spacing to get the right stock...apparently the 6mm is a long action...I would have guessed it would be considered short...I know they made the rifle in several calibers, like .243, .308, 7mm/08, but I don`t remember any in the 30-06 size . I would think they made them in .257 Roberts. and 7mm Mauser as well.
any one have one in a different caliber???
