[QUOTE="MarkMc, post: 1283724, member: 100204"] Funny you bring that up, I also have a 338-06 being built right now! Not that I need more guns but I got bit by the Elk bug. Hunting in northern Alberta Rocky Mountain foothills, in the bush shots are close, but we walked 5-8 miles up and down ~1000ft in elevation many times a day. My first hunt (two seasons ago) I took my good friend the 375H&H. It is a 11#+ gun, we had a falling out. I never pulled the trigger but longed for one of my lighter rifles. After talking to several smith's locally I decided to buy the tools and build it myself. It was not completed last year for the Elk hunt, so I carried my 308NM. Didn't pull the trigger again, Elk are unlike anything I have ever hunted. Anyways, I am finishing an oven I built this weekend to Cerakote the metal. It is a ~ 1950's Husqvarna 98, timney trigger, Dakota 3 position safety, MPI classic stock, 22" barrel in chrome moly. It is light, points really well and ballistically meets or beat the 308 Norma. The bullet availability for the 338 is amazing. I have OCD bad and am pondering improving the chamber before it is even complete. I am starting to suffer from sleep deprivation since finding this forum, I didn't realize what I had been missing. [/QUOTE]
