Looking for some advice from some experience individuals.
At my local gun shop there is a Tikka T3x roughtech in 6.5PRC that I was looking to use as a host for a rebarrel to 338 win mag. It seems most rifle manufacturers have left the 338 win mag behind but I think it will still be a great cartridge for my hunting here in Alaska. I have a 1965 Winchester model 70 338 win mag I have the thoughts of getting ready to hunt with but not confident I will get the accuracy I want out of it and am hesitant to put the money into it. Back to my point was thinking about using a proof blank in 338 to get chambered and fit for a tikka t3x action (open to other barrel suggestions). What all will I need as far as magazines and will the bolt face work for 338 win mag from 6.5 prc? I have a tikka t3x in 7mag and love that rifle. Would be nice to have something familiar in a different cartridge.
