[QUOTE="406pat, post: 587077, member: 13575"] Man I'm a huge fan of classic target rifles and I'd hate to see 'em go, but your rifle is your rifle! I'd look at a 338-06. You can use 30-06 brass and you get near .338 win mag performance without having to open up the bolt face. the .338-06 will shoot everything from the 180 AccuBond to the 300 Berger and will work for any game on this continent. A guy over on the hide is sharing his experience here [url=http://206.125.47.33/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1684551]Thoughts on a .338-06? - Sniper's Hide Forums[/url] He's getting 2300 fps with 300 gr SMKs out of a 24" tube which would be supersonic to about 1400 and roughly mimic .308 trajectories for long range rock busting. I ran the numbers once and I believe this load would still have over 1200 lbs of energy at 1000yds but I could be mistaken. That's my .02 and if you're looking to throw out those old target sights and bases let me know. They look pretty rough and are probably no good but I'd like to take a look anyway:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
