[QUOTE="kiwi49, post: 1516348, member: 82514"] There's a slew of excellent calibre choices being offered here. I've got a leaning towards old/older mil calibres. IMHO - stay with the '06 if you're really comfortable with it. 308 will approximate '06 performance with the right powder/bullet combo. If you're looking for something different - lighter rifle/less recoil/just as accurate to similar distances - the 6.5 x 55 Swede has a good following here in New Zealand. The Europeans have taken moose with the right bullet DRT. Your action might need the bolt face opening up, but your 'smith (if you're paying for the rebarrel), should be able to do it easily. The 700 action is very strong and - with the right ammo combo - won't be too far behind the more modern cartridges, running much higher pressures. However - it's your decision and there is a lot excellent suggestions that have been made. My 2c worth. [/QUOTE]
