The only thing better than 338-06 is another 338-06. Both on pre 64 the fwt used for 160-190 gr and the std for 200-250 gr. have taken brown bear to whitetail to caribou to moose and seven African antelope etc thrown in. Both in Mickey stocks and Leo scopes. The fwt ready to shoot at just over 7 lbs and the std just short of 9 lbs. both shoot touching groups at 100 yds. Yes I have the obligatory 338 win mag at just less than 10 luggable lbs growing old in the gun cabinet.
