Someone please tell me if this is doable. I have a lot of .30-06 ammo right now, and I'd like to have an inexpensive single-shot rifle to shoot some of it. Sure, I could just get a cheap bolt gun, but that's not really what I want. H&R makes a Handi-Rifle chambered in .30-06, but it is set up for a scope. That's bad for me, because I want iron sights, not a scope. There is an iron-sighted Handi-Rifle chambered in .30-30, and it has the same twist rate (1:10) as the H&R .30-06 barrels. Soooooo... Is it possible to buy the .30-30 Handi-Rifle and have the chamber reamed to .30-06? Would I need to mess with extractor or any other parts? Would there be any trouble with this idea? Thanks!
