2) Kimber 84l classic blued/ walnut
3) Winchester XTR featherweight with factory McMillan stock

I’m looking to make a nice all around western hunting rifle with a little extra punch than the 06 and without going to a magnum.

Thanks

About 3 or 4 years ago, AlaskaLanche described a rebore on an 84L ‘06, shortened to 20” as I recall.
Very interesting lightweight easy carrying build.

Worth searching up for the details.


I remember that rifle. I think ouch! He bought the donor. 84L from me.



An 84L would make a great .338-06, but I'd use a heavier barrel.


Yep, agree 100%. He did an ultralight though.

I think an 8400 Montana would be better IMO. I might even have a donor stashed away somewhere....... grin
