Jess turned my old Springfield 03A3 into a 338-06 for my grandson. We like it and he is a pleasure to deal with.
I have thought about a stainless 22" barreled Tikka Lite bored to a .35 Whelen or 9.3x62 with a couple of those 5 round magazines, should make a good rifle to have along when fishing salmon streams and moose hunting.
I’m hard on a blued gun. Was thinking of almos the same setup on the Tikka. Really think the 9.3 would be fun. Not much big or dangerous game around me unless someone considers hogs dangerous but have killed 100s with 7.62 steel case. They die easy.
