How rare is a 1906 with a serial number in the 800,000 range? I have one with 838706. It is listed on GB and have been getting some questions about date of manufacture.  Thanks

It is not rare at all. Thus far, we have surveyed (123) Model 06 rifles with a serial number > 800,000 (not including your rifle). Serial number 838706 was in January, 1931, 18-months before the Model 06 was discontinued.
