Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa . That explains the pushing for a .338-06 as opposed to a .35 Whelen on my thread, a little biased were we Very nice, I like the "A Square" stamping. I hope to read a field report soon.

 

[Amphibious]

of course I'm biased if I wanted a .35whelen why would I have anything rebarreled? just go to the store and buy a CDL

good luck with it. Corlane did a 338-06 for me last year with a Bevan King barrel and it shoots very well with good velocities.

As far as the 35 Whelen vs 338-06, it was an easy decision for me since I had a huge stash of 338 bullets

Very Nice! Should make a great Yogi Basher

 

[todbartell]

should be accurate, let us know how it shoots

Beautiful red X's

And who are you trying to kid? You'd still do a custom job even if it was for a Whelen. You're wired like that.

 

[boonerbuck]

[Gatehouse]

pics work fine, it's your POS connection!

 

[todbartell]

Very nice Phib... great caliber too.
That is a good group for fire forming... #### that is a good group for anything.

Very nice rifle in a well balanced chambering, Amphib. All you have to do now is get rid of that atrocious "thing" you have in the rings

unfortunetly it isn't stainless, isn't under 7lbs, and doesn't have a composite stock, so I'm afraid it won't be able to kill anything! or so the posts on this board have led me to belive

I can confirm you can kill stuff with blued and wood rifles too.

True, but it has to have a bolt

Nice rifle Amphib, Thumbs up

 

[BigUglyMan]

Sure it's nice, but ask the big galoot what he did to that nice rifle today.

I'm not telling. Just ask him. You just can't give some people nice things.
