Yep, back about 1995 I built one on a medium action BSA Hunter, though it was an Ackley Improved version. Would send 100gr Hornady or Nosler BT out at just over 3300fps with 2213. I tried 115gr BTs...

I can see the wisdom in this thread and guess the 30-06 is pretty close to perfect for the task But I just have to ask ? Why only one rifle ?? That is tragic !! More rifles please. Not less

I run the 35+10 one of these https://www.tightlines.co.nz/Item/Stealth-Hunting-Pack-30L-olive However if you're after a 25L they do a 20L or a 30L sizing. Only downside is the zips are a bit...
