[QUOTE="carleb, post: 2406490, member: 2353"] If you do it right, you won't likely save any money unless you can fit and chamber the barrel yourself. Which generally calls for a good gunsmith that will need to be paid for his knowledge and time. As far as caliber, of course the 30-06 is classic and very versatile, but a 35 Whelen would be rather classic also if you think you need the extra bullet weight for something big. I have a rather nice 35 Whelen, but it's truly a bit much unless you have Alaska, or African non-dangerous game on the menu. It is near perfect for elk and moose within reasonable ranges and although I've never shot a brown or grizzly bear, I think that it would be very suitable with the proper bullet. [/QUOTE]
