I have to agree with Rammer. It sounds like a great excuse for a new "toy". I do have a question though, why a 338 and not a 375 H&H or other medium-big bore?
The .338 seems like all the gun one could possibly need for any North American game animal; however, when I am standing beside a large mounted Brownie or Polar bear, I get to feeling like even a .375 H&H is none too big! Or even a .600 NITRO, for that matter! Some of these varmints have to be seen in person to be believed!!
