In a commercial gun there are probably more 35 Whelens out there. The 338-06 is pretty much limited to the Weatherby rifles that are used and expensive. The 8x57 was made in the Remington Classic one year and is a fine rifle. If you go military you can get any of the 3. You could buy any of the good 98's still around and leave it 8x57 or run a 338-06-35 Whelen reamer in it and be done. powdr
