Great caliber!! A friend built a .35 Whelen from a 98 Mauser I gave him. It has been successful on three African trips.

My Marlin 39A Mountie carbine is sort of a take down and I've seen a scabbard for that purpose but it was not for sale.

I have both calibers. The 30-06 is a 1953 H&R, .308 is a 1943 Springfield modified by the Navy in 1964. My advice is grab any decent M1 you can get, you can always swap.
