Sweet rifle, congrats!! I'm on the hunt for one as well. You couldn't make a better elk gun.
Eric Agreed, in spades. Although I must say that my much customized 1917 in essentially a supercharged 338 is right in there, too...  Congratulations to the new owner of this fantastic rifle.

I hate to say it, but when I'm out hunting, I'm still looking for the push forward safety of my M1917. I miss that ol girl... The old adage holds true. There'll never be another one like your first!!!! ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/001-2.jpg) I know I shouldn't have posted that since this is a Winchester forum....Hey, maybe mine was manufactured by Winchester

I'm so close to doing what beretzs did to his: Throw it in a Mcmillan. Probably a hunters compact or a pre 64 montecarlo pattern. Legend.....thank me later.  If I had not already ordered the McM, I would have gone with the Legend. Alot of benefits on a 338 Win Mag. Can't think of any con's. Still thinking of putting one on my 35 Newton.

Hey, I can see beretzs point.... . However, I don't know what I'd do without my 30-06...

I don't like my 270. It makes my 30-06 fwt look bad. The 2 30-06's gang up on it in the safe. Trust me...

Don't worry BSA. That has been happening inside gunsafe's since 1925.

Yeah, I have some others in the safe, but when it comes to actual hunting for keeps, the 338 seems to always be my go to.. At least in the west.

All this talk is killing me. My 338 is not here and I'm thinking 270 or how to reclaim the '06 my son has. As for my 338, looks like Cabelas finally hit my CC last night so it should be moving my way. :-)!!

Thanks buddy. I wish I still had that one. It was one of my favorites, but I got rid of it in favor of my pre 64's. Sometimes I wonder why the heck I do that. Looks like it's your birthday today. Have a great day!!
