Looking to have a rifle built in the next year or so. It's going to be a Model 70 action. I have my eye on a potential donor.
At first I was thinking .257Wby Mag. But .338 has had my attention for some reason. I don't need either one of them for anything particular. But I could see a use for each one certainly.
I'm thinking I'd want the .257 to be a bit lighter, easier to carry, walking around type rifle. Shooting across swamps or poking at deer out west.
The.338 would be an all around type rifle. Could be stand hunting WT deer,
could be hunting thick stuff for snowshoe hairs. Neither would be at game further than 400 yds and hopefully...a lot closer. Which kinda leans .338 but I like both.
