I've been up and down the scale, different models, different calibers, stock and custom, until I discovered one that suits me in power and accuracy. I can't explain why it's better than any other, but of the two I've had built and one bought here on the board every one inspires confidence that I can kill anything I shoot at.
It may be foolish but a 338-06 is all I'll ever use from now on. I'm slowly giving away all the others to the grand kids as they grow up.
