I have an action but no plan

[8x68]

I wouldn't bother with the 375CT with the 375WBY already in place.

A 35Whelen or 9.2x62 would make more sense.

+1^. Agree. 9.3x62 or 35 Whelen

I now own 2 lh Whelens, not a single regret.

You should have a regret...

You should have made a LH & RH Whelen, not two lefties...

With a rifle on each shoulder, if the wind is blowing from the West, you shoot from the East side of the pine tree with the RH rifle, and when the wind is blowing from the East, you shoot from the West side of the pine tree with your LH rifle... that is if you are facing North, of course! If you are facing South then you would use your RH rifle on the West side of the pine tree on an East wind and your LH rifle on the East side of the pine tree on a West wind...

Use the 90 degree rule if the wind is from the North or South.

you could do flavour of the month... like a 9.3x62 or you Could go a 95 year old Poor Mans Magnum aka the The Whelen

Heavy and Slow sounds the Go, you have heavy and FAST covered LOL

Enough with your feral bellowing ya Bogan!

Wagner all the way!

All this isn't going to matter if I can't find someone to do the work, made a few calls today but no luck. I would prefer a rebore but might have to go with a new barrel, any suggestion on someone that can do a rebore or best guy to rebarrel it.

Did you try pm'ing guntech or Calling Jason at gunco?

 

[MaxKW]

Ron Smith rebores, you could also call JC and see if he does. For fitting a fresh barrel, take your pick but as mentioned Guntech does very good work.

I very much covered for the under .35's, there's no argument that the 30-06 will cover all my big game hunting needs, but it's just so plain vanilla. in the .338's the 338-378 has that itch covered.

Only thing a 338-06 and a 338-378 share in common is diameter. A 26+ " / 10+lb pig vs a 22" 7lb scoped ready to go killing machine. Easy choice for me if you're a serious hunter

I have a stainless Rem 700 in 30-06 on its way as a donor and I have a laminated stock but I don't know what to build with it. My first thought was to rebore it to 9.3x62 and shorten the barrel and it could fit in between my guide gun in 45-70 and my Sako 75 in 375 Wby. Any ideas, I can't see going under 35 cal and I could get a magnum bolt if needed. Ex 375 Taylor.

35 Whelen gets my VOTE ! RJ

Do anyone know if Ron Smith is taking any work right now so I don't call and bother him for nothing.

Nope... I tried to get a rifle in, but he is swamped.

 

[rem338win]

I've always wondered about a 400 Whelen.
200yd crater maker.
But it's not unlike your 45-70 really.
