 If the action had really been designed to handle .30-06 pressure, shooting it “a lot” wouldn’t cause this problem.  But when it was on the drawing board, the .30-06 hadn’t yet been conceived, & by the time it was, Browning had parted ways with Winchester.  

I had never really thought it through from this perspective.  I am now.  Interesting.

I suspect if the bore is bright with sharp rifleing I should be good. If the bore isn’t good I’ll pass anyway.

If you purchased a .30-06 M1895 off of an internet auction (or any seller) that offered inspection privileges, and you had a no-go gauge, you could use that gauge as part of the inspection process in evaluating whether you want to keep the rifle.  I am somewhat pessimistic given Tim’s experience with the large percentage of .30-06 95’s that he has tried a no-gauge in – and the gauge closed on the bolt.
