I did a simple upgrade and wound up with one hell of an elk gun. I had my gunsmith re-chamber the original military barrel to 8mm-06 AI. The increased powder capacity of the round is like putting it on steroids. Total cost was $75.00. Performance is just short of a .300 mag.,without a belted case,and much less felt recoil.
