They did a 9.3x62? Or a 7.65 Argentine? They are both fairly pretty classic and modern ammunition is available. Or, do up a short action and chamber it for a .250 Savage or 22-250? (If either of those have not been down already.)
Or, if they've exhausted the .473" headsize and standard length action...a .375 H&H is definitely a classic, a nice change, and surely something nobody can't live without.
It's about time for Remington to legitimize the 338-06. I know, A Square was the first, but hey, how many A Square rifles have you seen around? I have yet to see one. Of course, there is the negative competition with the already Remington legitimized 35 Whelen.....but I think they would sell quite a few rifles in 338-06. My .02 worth, Joe in Houston

Well, it's about time for SOMEONE to legitimatize the .338/'06! It should be available in a coup[le of rifles that are within the average guy's pocketbook! Like for instance, a Weatherby Vanguard instead of just a MARK V, the M70, the M700, and/or even a nice CZ......
I don't know what it will be but I can pretty well say what it won't be: 6.5/06, 8mm/06, 338/06, any AI cartridges, or any other wildcat. Sales would be very dismal if they cam out with a wildcat and I din't think that Remington wants to come out with any new cartridges at this time unless it is a UM or SUM.

I have a Classic in .350 RM and would love to have a matching 6.5 RM. Also have one of the 40X Sporters in .22 LR but a less expensive one would be nice for squirrel hunting. But they are really missing the boat by not bringing one out in .358 Winchester. They would sell all of them and then end up having them in a regular production rifle just like the .221 Fireball. How many years were people yelling for a rifle in .221 FB...30? They finally make a Classic, sell them all out and now they have a special edition laminated one as stock production. Now several other makes like CZ and Kimber are making rifles for the .221. What is wrong with those people in marketing?
