I have had a couple of .338-06's and both have been super easy to work loads up for, and there honestly isn't as much difference between it and a .338 WM as you might think. I have a nice VZ24 that I purchased way cheap, with a new Shaw barrel. I've never bought a Shaw barrel, but this one shoots MOA and doesn't foul, so works for me. I have less than $300 in it with a typical Buehler style safety, Boyds laminate stock, and scope ready. There isn't much that you can't do with a 210 TTSX at 2800, or a 225 at 2700 fps, or a 250 at 2500.
