That is a Pre-'64 M70 that was rebored from .270 WCF to .338-06 by JES.
Another good recommendation for JES, it does 2800 fps with 210-gr Nosler Partitions and H380.
Freshened up that barrel nicely !

I have a .338-06 Argentine M-98 in synthetic stock. I would load it to imitate the trajectory of whatever .458 WM load.
Having a .458 WM is like having attention deficit disorder.
There are so many good powders and bullets for it, always a new trick.

Speaking of new tricks, wear a neck gaiter if you have a white beard,
so your face does not look like a deer's behind flashing a danger signal:

You bet Sir Ron, about an hour before dark it did indeed begin to rain more, if my 458 WM+ were to get a little wet in Africa tracking buffalo that'd be fine, but not on a little cow farm in Oklahoma hunting deer, that JES 338-06 rebore is one of my favorites for bad weather hunting, it's light as a feather and way more accurate than it needs to be, my 'Smith likes it too, while cerakoting all the metal, he threw in a stainless trigger adjusted to a clean 2lbs, LOL on the neck gaiter, great idea straight from the self preservation dept ; ]

Trump Won!
