[QUOTE="RogerPA, post: 2409880, member: 70741"] Back in the day when Christensen made custom rifles, I had them build a .338-06 ASq. for me. 24” carbon, off a 700 action, and with what they called the “Classic” stock. It’s pretty much perfect for what I intended to use if for. Light weight, slides pretty easily into a scabbard, and packs a pretty decent punch, without excessive recoil. I can’t recall all my load details (I’m away from home right now), but I know with moderate loads of “BLC-2” I was easily able to get 160’s at nearly 3100 FPS, and 185’s to just under 3000 FPS. The 185’s worked great on moose and caribou, and the 160’s never fail to perform on whitetails. Based on my experience, if it shoots well, I’d try it! (Rifle shown below is aforementioned.338-06, and for all I know, may be the only .338-06 they ever made(?)) [/QUOTE]
