[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 443472, member: 11960"] I have a 338/284 and it's a dead ringer for the 338-06. I think that it's really at it's best with bullets around 225gr and run out of a long action. Mine is a 19" barrel screwed onto a long action Savage. It's intended as a compact timber gun. Another option to look at would be the 338/375 Ruger. I recently finished building one on a Savage Striker with an 18" barrel. It functions out of a standard long action and should give you 330 Dakota or 340 Weatherby ballistics out of a rifle. The Dakota and Weatherby calibers are great rounds, but the brass is pretty pricey. Plus, the Dakota is a fatter case that may require some extra work to the action to ensure proper feeding, and the Weatherby will require a magnum length action. Andrew [/QUOTE]
