It would be an excellent brush and medium range gun, it could reach across a field and be fine, but be at home in the woods too.
This is very true, but there's nothing it can do that the 308 Win. can't do just as well, and out shines it at longer ranges!!!
I've put tons of meat in my freezer with a 338-06 (includeing the caribou pictured below) so i do have some idea what a 338-08 would be like.
