Changing the caliber of your rifle?
elkinrutdrivemenuts:
Ok so for the money would you
Rather have a 338/06 or a 338mag? Seems
Like it's a couple hundred dollar difference.
carpsniperg2:
If it was just for Elk I would go 338mag myself. Even though the 338/06 is a great round. 338mag you will get a little better range and more stopping power. If you were planning on keeping the shots fairly close 300yards and under and want a great deer gun as well I would go 338/06. I like my 338mag and have liked the 338/06's that I have shot.

I want to have a designated elk gun. I
Got plenty of deer rifles that can handle
Elk, but I want real elk gun, 338 mag type.
Bofire:
:)I thought about this a little.
So you get the bolt opened up and a new barrel, you might as well get the trigger done or replaced and the action squared and trued, and you better get it bedded into a HS Precision stock, scope mounts and optics.
keep the keepsake gun, sell yer others and buy what ever blows yer skirt up.

Yeah if it was cost effective I would do it, but for 700 bucks I can add another gun to my safe. It sounds like a awesome caliber and I think I will definatley convert or buy one later. But I want a magnum!
