[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 237537, member: 12995"] Why not just rebarrel it as a .338-378 Weatherby Mag. That's a real "big boomer". I have a 7mmSTW...which is an 8mm necked-down to a .284 caliber bullet. It's a hot-shooter. I enjoy the hell out of it! Why not just go with a 7mmSTW??? You can find ammo for it, you can shoot 1,000+ yards with it...and it will take down ANYTHING on the PLANET!!! I'd suggest either a 7mmSTW.......or a .30-378 Weatherby Mag. or a .338-378 Wby. Mag. Of the three, my top choice would be the .30-378 Wby. Mag...but ammo will cost you about $100-130 a box!!! 7mmSTW ammo will run you about $50-70 a box. And .338-378 Wby. Mag. ammo CAN run you close to $200 a box!!! So, I'd stick with a 7mmSTW...bad-*** round, and will do whatever you plan to use it for! Even scare the **** out of other people at the shooting range, when you fire it!!! However, I'd strongly recommend a muzzle-brake. I'm no little, weak guy...by ANY means... But...It's not the politest round on your shoulder, if you plan on shooting it all day long.......don't be a fool......get a muzzle-brake! [/QUOTE]
