TWO more 338-06's

[guntech]

It seems the 338-06 is the new hot hunting caliber...

I just completed two rifles in 338-06. Both on trued 700 actions. One stainless and one blued action. One with a #1 contour and one with a #2 contour 24 inch Gaillard barrel. The heavier rifle (9 pounds) not pictured here has a grey 4.5 x 14 Leupold in lapped dual dovetail mounts. The lighter rifle shown (8.25 pounds) has a 3.5 x 10 B & C mounted the same. Both in factory 700 grey laminated stocks. This was refinished in a dull oil type finish.

Sweet rigs

Sweet lookig rig. Almost looks like my Sako m75 Greywolf 338-06AI that I had made last fall. LOVE IT!! Shoots 225gr Accubonds quite nicely. Will also be trying 225gr TTSX's.


Mine weighs in at 9.62 lbs with Leoupld VX3 scope, Optilock Ring mounts.

I went with a #5 PacNor Supermatch grade stainless barrel and my gunsmith fluted it. Weighs like a #4. Overall pkg weighs almost idential to a Sako m75 Greywolf 300WM, 7mmRM, 338WM.

That is one round I would love to have but I don't reload

Maybe some day the ammo companies will get it together and make some for it....

Weatherby sells ammo, marked 338-06 A-square - like A-zone says. Its expensive, but they do sell it.

The lighter one is mine... its got a 7mm 08 barrel as well. Easy to switch back and forth for me...

My customers supply their parts, I do the labour.
I charge $150 to true a Remington 700 series action,
$225 to fit a round blank in most calibers, Gaillard charges $375 for most preturned blanks shipped. Barrel finish and bedding, lapping rings, etc, varies...

Here is a picture of the 8.25 pound 338 06.

Dennis and Gord where so impressed with the Rem 700 left hand with a s/s gaillard barrel and grey lam stock that Dennis built for me , it shoots 1/2 groups all day and has taken 3 moose so far , if you want one built he is your man .. every one will see the light one day

Dennis, on that ss action, what did you do to the barrel? It looks to have a scaled finish...I like it. Got any closeups?

I don't have a close up of a barrel done that way but this is a picture of a blued action I did the same way as the stainless barrel.

It is a pattern I sand blast on a polished surface and then wire brush with a soft stainless wheel. Anyone who has bought a barrel from Gaillard will recognize how the pattern is made.
