[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1354238, member: 22069"] Northland Shooter Supply shows Savage pre-fits available from Shilen with a 338-06 chamber. That appears to be the only Savage pre-fit available in 338-06. If you decide not to go the pre-fit route, I agree with the idea of going with a good cut-rifled barrel such as a Krieger or Bartlein. Since you do not intend to mount a brake, I believe you would benefit from a bit more gun weight. The Shilen Heavy Sporter contour is the smallest I would consider. If you go with a full custom barrel, a fluted Krieger #5 or a Bartlein 3b is about right. With a custom barrel, the AI version of the 338-06 deserves serious consideration for improved headspace control and greater brass stability. Optimum barrel length for either version of this chambering will be no longer than 24". [/QUOTE]
