Just a follow up to my post about owning six .30-06 rifles. I've sold all but three actually and I just dropped the third one off to be rebarreled into a .338-06. I still have the Stevens 200 for sale so hopefully I'll be down to one 06 soon, and if the Stevens doesn't sell I've got a .358 Win barrel under my bench that will probably be screwed on. Wasn't wanting a .358 on a long action but it will work just fine for one, and give me extra mag space to seat bullets a little longer.
My plan for is to have a matched pair of rifles in SS M70 Classic rifles in McMillan Edge stocks. Hopefully in a few months I'll be the proud owner of a .338-06 with a #3 contour Pac-Nor Super Match SS 3 groove 10 twist, with Talley LW mounts, and a Leupold VX3 2.5-8X36 in a Black Hunters Edge stock. My SS Classic FWT will be done in a couple of weeks but will be in a light tan Hunters Edge stock, with Talley mounts and a Vari-X III 2.5-8X36 that I have laying around. These will be my traveling and mountain hunting rifles. I'm hoping the 06 will come in at 7 lbs all up and the .338-06 around 8 lbs all up.
Should make the perfect pair of M70's! Sorry to all the Whelen guys, hey I love it too but just feel that .338 offers a little better choices. 200 and 225 Accubonds are hopefully what this rifle will like to eat.
