So, yesterday, I had to go to the LGS to get a part to put my AR-15 back together. while I was there I saw a sweet looking Remington 7400, chambered in 30-06. I asked to see it, and if he'd take a trade for an AR-10. He said he would, and LSS, I now have a 30-06, which is a chambering that has been missing from my collection for the last 7-8 years. Scoped the barrel to check out the rifling, and is very nice. Some copper and carbon fouling, but rifling in very good shape. He offered my an additional $100, which I said I'd take in store credit, ensuring I'll be back to do business. He liked that. We both think we did ok on this one.

You did just fine ... I would much rather have a Remington 7400 in 30-06 than a AR-10 ...
Any day of the week and twice on Sunday ... And you got $100 to boot !!! Sweet Deal ... Awesome Deal !
Here in the Louisiana bottoms ... the 7400 is prized for fast up close shooting on Deer and Hogs ... to me the 30-06 is still king of the hill ...
Nice Score !
