30-06 bull barrel
« on: April 06, 2009, 04:41:04 PM »
Has there ever been such a thing?  Thought i had seen a whitetail unlimited in 30-06 bull barrel?  Or is it just a modified 308 bull for a longer 06 case?  Would like to get one but don't know if i am looking for what really is not there.  I did some searching but couldn't find anything.  I have a 7400 06 that really is not that accurate & would like to add a handi barrel.  Thanks! 

This site is great.  Thanks to you great folks i worked over my 45-70 trigger down from 6 lbs to 3lbs really was not that hard & was a fun project & yep it is an accurate shooter.  My 223 trigger will be next.

I have yet to see any,(would be awesome thought huh?  8) ) but by many standards the standard contour barrels are thick. The only Bull Barrel 30cal Handi I know of is the 22" 308
In any case if you want a good straight shooter 30cal pick up a 30-06 barrel. They are usually very good performers with little complaints .

Tractor I can't say I have ever heard of a bull 06  but you can move these bbl's around so easy If it was on a WTU and it was a bull it was more than likley a .308 rechamber. I got a WTU 3040 Krag (rechambered 30-30)  and a RMEF 3006 ultra comp that started I think with a .280 bbl on it.Kurt

When I am out at the range, people come up to look at the strange colored gun I am shooting.  They all say something about the Bull Barrel.  It's a standard Handi in 30-06.  The barrel is so heavy they all say it's a bull barrel.

I camoed it to a textured green finish on the metal.  A rough stone finish in black with white specks on the wood.

Sourdough, take a picture of that 30-06 and post it for so we can all see.  It is already a legend just from the stories you have posted here.
