I have a Remington 1917 in 338-06.....IMO the 1917 makes for a damn heavy gun for anything on the 30-06 case....unless you dont have to pack the gun around i wouldnt do much of anything but a big case so that weight is put to good use soaking up recoil energy....if i wind up keeping mine it will likely end up being remade into something like a 404 Jeffery or a 416 Rigby or something like that...a 338-06 that weights over 9 pounds all up kicks like a 25-06 in a normal weight rifle but winds up being left in the safe when it comes time to grab something to hike the hills with...
