I built a 8-06 about 20 years ago. I wanted one since I was 18.
Since then I have owned and shot 338-06, 338-06 AI (2), 35 Whelen, 375-06 AI.
Concluded they are all great, just like the original, the 30-06. Going with Mule Deer on this call.
If I was crazy enough to do it again it would definitely be the AI version.
I just don't buy the bullet selection argument. The sweet spot is around 200 grains. End of story
