Mauser Rebarreling Project...Need Advice

Keeping it a 30-06, or changing to something else will not matter one bit with the inletting issue you may have.
It's all in the barrel contour. Aka shape of the outside of the barrel.

He shouldn't have any issues with the barrel contour if he orders a stock inlet for a Mark X with a factory sporter contour. If you look at the pictures you can tell it is just a sporter contour barrel, nothing fancy. Same thing if the OP replaces the barrel and keeps the stock, just order the factory sporter contour and there won't be any issues.

Taylorce,
Please refer to post #20.
" keep it 30-06. As it appearsStevie Wonder inletted the stock" .

Just trying to help a brother out. You and i know of contours, but not everybody does.
Or rather thinks of it that way.

I figured if he was wanting to lighten the rifle up. To lighten it the fastest way is to ditch the stock. So my suggestion was just to make sure he orders a the proper inlet for his rifle. I guess I just missunderstood your post.
