My father has a garand that he 'found' at the end of the war and it is, of course, chambered for the 06. It can still put rounds in the black at 500 yards!

Awesome weapon. My regular shooting partner has one. And it's good for a lot further than 500 yards in the hands of the right shooter.

I got my Girand pretty Cheap in the early '80's, but the barrel was shot smooth and it was pitted. I had not choice but to re-barrel. At the time, my friend was shooting match with his M-14 (a great gun) and had a good line on .308 so I followed suit and rebarreled in the same caliber. It works fine in that mode, though I had one errant clip that wouldn't handle the slightly shorter cartridge.
