[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1207459, member: 30902"] The bolt face is not the same. The 06 doesn't have a magnum bolt face, the 300's you're talking about will require it. Easiest in the long run would probably be to go with the 300wm if it's already a long action magnum action. There are some cooler, newer 30's out there but the 300wm is probably the most proven magnum caliber around the world. I'm a 7mm STW nut but I also own 300wm's for one simple reason, "The 300wm is never the wrong answer". The 300/375Ruger is a wildcat but it's one of the better/sexier 30 cal's out there but you will have to get custom dies for it and there's not much load data out there for you to work with as it's still pretty new. I shoot the 375 Ruger and I gotta tell you, it's a whole lot of fun. The current one I have is in their "Alaskan" model with the 20's barrel and I like it well enough that I'm probably going to do a remodel on one of my existing 300wm's with a 28" Bull magnum contour barrel for a long range rig. Even without the muzzle brake the recoil even with 300gr bullets really isn't all that bad and I put a Northwest Precision muzzle brake on (have it on 7 other rifles) and it took it from being a gun I didn't mind shooting to one I love shooting. What's the purpose of this rifle? Hunting, if so what? long range plinking? [/QUOTE]
