People who always wanted a 338-06 will have the option of a factory rifle with factory ammo.
People who wanted a .338-06ALREADY "had" an option of a "factory rifle" and "factory ammo" in that combo if they wanted it!!!
But, "before" a factory combo was ever offered, i builta 338-06for myself. I hunted with it forseveral years, harvesting 13 big game animials the first 3 years after i built it. It did quite well on the moose, caribou, brown bear and deer that i used it on!
