[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2770664, member: 87243"] My father built an 8mm-06 off a german 98 Mauser, used the military stepped 8mm mauser barrel and just reamed it with an 06' reamer and throated it appropriately. Instantly made the German rifle better after having an American cartridge shoved up it's rear end! Ha ha. 180's at 2900+, and an abundance of brass (30-06). Fantastic timber elk rifle. I think an 8mm-.338 Norma or NAI would be a sweet cartridge as well, but wouldn't quite perform with a Lapua or LAI. I have a soft spot for the Norma though, I have put together two, and really enjoy the cartridge. Super easy to tune. [/QUOTE]
