Blackfly1,
I heartedly agree with your post. = As a "wrong handed guy" I have a Remington 760 in .300 SAV, one in .30-06, a JES reformatted Model 760 in 9.3x62mm & and am planning to have Jessie reformat my "100-buck garage sale .30-06" Model 760 into a .400 Brown-Whelen Improved within 45 days. - I own all of the calibers of 760 except .257 Roberts from 5.56NATO to the 9.3x62mm currently.
(The 9.3 & the .400 will make the trip to Africa in 2020.)
My shotguns are also Remington pump-guns.
MUSCLE MEMORY is important when hunting dangerous game, imo.
ADDENDA: In the event that you are unfamiliar with the .400B-WI, it is not only the most powerful cartridge that can be made from .30-06 cases but also is "the ballistic twin" of the "well-regarded in Africa" .404 Jeffrey. = It .400 uses the same size bullets as the .405WCF.
There are any number of perfectly suitable .270WCF to .35 Whelen used rifles that would make a fine DANGEROUS GAME RIFLE for likely less than 500.oo cash. = A friend in our local AF vet's club has a VERY NICE .375 Whelen caliber rifle that was converted from a .270WCF. = He told me over breakfast a few days ago that he paid 225.oo for the rifle with REDFIELD scope at the Dallas Gunshow & that he then paid JES just over 200.oo to reformat it.
(The retired CSM's comment was, "It's all the big-bore rifle that I'll ever need for hunting, Worldwide.)
yours, tex
