What caliber is this one? I’m thinking that I might need this.

To the best of my knowledge (and I'm happy to be corrected on this) - these were 30-06. Originals were 30-03, but then the 30-06 was later adopted. There are no caliber designations on the barrel, just a stamp of "SA 6-19) just behind the front sight to show this was built in 1919.

It chambers and cycles a 30-06 round just fine, but I have not fired this rifle. This was one of my grandfather's.
