I have a feeling you could find a cheap T3 used in .338 Federal and have the barrel set back a thread and chambered to 338-06. The only other parts you would need would be a long action bolt stop and a long action magazine.


OK, so the 338 federal is a 308 necked up to 338. Are all the actions the same length on the Tikkas? Is it really that simmple to turn a 338 Federal into a 338-06?
