If anyone can ever see the difference between a 30-06 and a 338 Fed within ranges of 400ish or less, they are better than me. I would venture it is safe to say there is 0% difference in the outcome. Which says very good things about the 338 in my opinion.

The Savage offerings are interesting. I'd like to have a Model 11 lightweight hunter with the 23" stainless fluted barrel from the 16 Bear Hunter.
