.338-06 is a nice rebore project for a tired '06 with enough steel in the tube to not end up too thin.
Less costly than a new barrel and they shoot pretty good.

When I had my Montana rebarreled by Pacnor I had them chamber in 7mm-08 with a 1 in 9". It shoots 120's very well. I finally decided to try some 162's in it for reduced wind drift, and I'm glad I have the faster twist. If'n I was gonna build a 7-6.8 Ingwe, I'd also suggest a one in 9", but hey it's your rifle

I just took every of a custom 275 Rigby with a 1:10 twist and it will cloverleaf 140gr Sierra's. I went with a classic stalking rifle theme. Pics are on this thread under a stalking rifle and on the Winchester collector forum.

With 23000 posts on this forum alone, I don't see when you will have time to shoot it.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Having a 7x57 built. Specs.... Dumoulin Mauser action American Walnut stock 13 5/8" LOP Shilen barrel #2 contour 22" long 1-11" twist for the 140 gr Nosler Partition & Sierra. Leupold 2-7x scope & Talley rings. Fluer de lis with ribbon. 1" red recoil pad Grip cap Be ready in a year. Will be a long wait.  I bet it will turn out nicely. Roy builds a really well balanced hunting rifle. I saw a 7x57 that he built on an early commercial Oberndorf that was incredible.

Mention custom 7x57's and I always think of this one. It was built by Jaeger in Jenkinstown, PA, on one of PO Ackley's left hand Mauser actions. P.O. had 150 RH and 50 LH made up a number of years ago, at a factory in Japan - according to DeHaas' book. Despite the wrong handed bolt, I nearly kept it anyway. I finally sold it for a nice profit to a collector of left hand Mausers, who was utterly delighted to have it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/leftvert_zpsf66ca441.jpg)
