Waterman > "look at the bolt face. If the .30-06 case fits properly against the bolt face, that is another clue."

I think it does. The .303 British fits the chamber nicely, but not the boltface. I think this shows that the rifle was altered to some rimless cartridge, not .30-06, but not far off in size.

David,
See my post above, an 8.15x46R bolthace would be a little large for 30-06, but would be too small for .303. Even though a little large, it will likely still work.If a 30-06 goes into the chamber, it is too large for 303.I suspect it still has the 8.15x46R bolt head.

The casting is longer and much more sharply shouldered than the 8.15x46R. Also, the rimless .30-06 case seemed to fit the bolthead.
