[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 431225, member: 25383"] if it's just gonna be a good elk gun, I would not look any further than a .338-06 AI. You get about 85% of the power a .338 mag has with 65% of the felt recoil. What more could one ask for? The Ackley chamber will handle regular .338-06 rounds, and fire form them once fired in the Ackley chamber. Savage is seriously looking at the .338-06 chamber in one of their rifles right now, and even went so far as to run a poll to see what shooters thought about them comming out with one. I'm buying one if they do! one other thing to think about when going to one of those big fat cases is the thread diameter. Remington and Savage use a similar diameter thread at 1.06, and really you want the bigger thread diameter in the Savage (I don't know if Remington offers a larger barrel shank as well). What about a .358 STW? gary [/QUOTE]
