Hey everybody, I'm looking for some opinions here. Around a year ago, I decided I needed a 338-06. To me, it is the perfect all around rifle cartridge, not including dangerous game. I picked up a nice/rebarreled new age Model 70 for a steal off Gunbroker. However, when the rifle arrived, someone at some point, for some reason unknown to me, had ground off half of the feed rail. It took a lot of bending of the feed lips and grinding on the ramp to get the rifle to the point where it was even able to feed a cartridge without jamming. But it still loves to jump cartridges out of the mag, especially at just the wrong moment. Works fine for whitetail hunting from my stand, just not something I would take on a costly, once in a lifetime hunt. So I'm planning on having a new one built. My question is, of the big four American names in rifles (Remington, Ruger, Savage, and Winchester), which would you choose for the starting point. I have other rifles in all 4 brands that I love, just not sure which to start with. What would be your pick for your "one gun" if you had to choose?
Thanks
Thanks
