I enjoyed reading again all the comments from many of the posters we seldom see any more. Pleasant nostalgia for sure. Thanks roger

what about the 8x60 mauser????????

or 8x60 a.i. to get near 8-06 performance

Why not just do the 8mm/06 and be done with it???

Why take second best, when it is just as easy to go with the better of the two?

With a long action, I did.....but it miked out .338/06

Hard to complain 200 2909 fps, and 225@ 2670 in a 23" shooting 1/2 moa with 6x scope even at 200 yds! I was VERY happy, but the bolt handle broke off the 700 and for no other reason that a faulty braze and I lost faith in the gun, not the round.

No feedback needed on my bad Rem experience, please.

Tnekkcc, that's a great illustration, but get rid of the flame thrower and bring back the cap pistola. roger

The one with the cap pistol is the border patrol.

That 8 x 63 Swedish looks interesting!!!Rechamber an 8 x 57 to that seems like a fun thing to hunt with....

More appeal to me than a 325 WSM.....
