Thanks for all the help guys. It is not which one I want, but which will be the most practical and useful to me at this point. I "Really Want" the 338 but the 8mm will be considerably more practical. Also quite a bit less expensive to build and shoot.
I just put the 338 barrel up fore sale and will order a new 8mm Rem Mag short chambered barrel as soon as I get my first 7.62x45 project finished. All that is left on it is getting it blued and dropping it into the stock. After this one is done, than I have my six other planed projects including now the 8mm Rem Mag. After those I will still have four large ring and one small ring Mauser actions left in my stash. Which at this point I have no plans for.
