I looked at one for a while when planning a new rifle build. Had the itch bad. Finally, I just came to terms with the fact that there's nothing a 338-06 can do that a 300 WSM can't and the WSM will do it all for an extra couple hundred yards over the 338. Now, style.... The 338-06 has it. I grant you that.
Well generally you can get 4+1 or even 5+1 when non magnum actions compared to generally 3+1 of magnum actions.
That and non magnum actions in the rifles I prefer are usually a half pound lighter than the WSM magnum actions. Those are the main two criteria that drove me away from WSMs and towards the 338-06 in the first place.
