Good stuff... I honestly expected more chiding about walking away from .30-06.
Any other cal. suggestions before I jump in??? 35/375 Whelen are out for me... 400 Whelen is interesting, but TOO MUCH WHELEN to ask from this gun? ...and internet rumors run amuck on .400W as bad as pink elephants sitings.
A good friend of mine just picked up a Ruger #1 in .458 Lott... so I have been thinking about big in a different way ever since. (I have .300WM, .45-70 (R #1), couple of .458S and .50B so thumping fun is pretty common for us here in Virginia.
I agree on a new stock... proper fit is a must. Solid coco bolo or maybe a teak/holly lam. (I am pretty fair with wood).
Pondering a barrel bob as well. I have always liked my big bore stuff kinda punchy carbine short on the front end and well fitting on the back end (I am 6'5").
Kahles Helia C 1.1-4x24 scope with 7A heavy plex reticle will be her bonnet.
