Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 338/06 vs 35Whelen rebore

So I have two 30/06 Kimber Montanas. Figured I'd rebore one to either 35 Whelen or 338/06.

I have a SS Hawkeye Whelen that I really like but dont have a 338/06 so leaning toward the later. I know theres not enough difference to matter so as a looney I could be convinced either way.

Purpose of the rifle is a light weight all around AK hunting/berry picking rifle. And of course to tinker with and pour over reload data etc.

The Montana I'm going to rebore has been cut to a looney length of 23" and has NEGC sights installed already. It works great as is but I like medium bores so what say the Campfire guru's?

Thanks and tight chains.
