Why would you want to get rid of the 30-06 for a 308?

I was under the impression SIG only made these in 7.62x51 Nato and .300 Winchester Magnum ???

I have a SHR970 in .270. Shoots very well.

I had one in 25-06. It was a solid hunting rifle, really good looking gun. I kinda wish I still had it. Although it was the first "casualty trade-in" on my first precision rifle.

They are take-down rifles and have interchangeable barrels... Shouldn't be too much to change it over to a LA .308.....

They are great shooters but parts are impossible to find. The STR used a McMillan stock, don't know it you can get one from them.

I have all three stocks. Two 300 WM bbls, a 280 Rem bbl and a fluted/brake 308 bbl. All extras bought at Numrich. They didn't list the 308 bbls but I asked and the nice man said yea I got two fluted 308's. I only bought one for $200.00. I didn't have enough cash for the other 308 bbl.

The blemished wood stock for $65.00 was fine. I couldn't find any blemish. The McMillan stock is nice but the palm swell is a little large for me. It was easy to hog out the syn/wood stock to free float the fluted/brake 308 bbl.

It's a SHR but with the McMillan stock and the fluted/comp bbl.It only lacks the STR stamp on the bolt handle. A very fine shooter for sure.

Why would you keep a 30-06 over a 308?

Anything a 308 can do, the 30-06 does far far better (except fit in the mags of a short action).
