So I was looking at my old ruger M77 (tang safety) 30-06 the other day and I got to thinking I have killed pretty much every thing in Oregon with it and maybe its time to try some thing else. The last few years I have been shooting 300 wm but it really seems like an 06 on steroids. My brother already reloads for 338wm and 338-378 wby so I have most of what I need to reload already sitting around. I have a ton of 06 brass. There is atleast 3 other 30-06's in the safe just in case I ever need one again.
Is the ruger M77 a good canidate for a new barrel? The rifle fits me great and I have been shooting it since I was 12, I'm 31 now so its been around for a while.
I know the 338wm and 338-378 work very well on mule deer and elk but I have never used or seen used a 338-06 so any personal experince would be cool.
What kind of cost would I be looking at to have the new barrel installed apx?
So why or why sholdn't I be packing a 338-06 in the fall.
