[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2735897, member: 122715"] I'm going to go against the flow too, but for different reason. Living in CA, and I assume doing at least some hunting there, you should make a new build specifically for very long, lathe-turned, heavy copper mono's. That is, 1 in 7" twist for 7mm, or 1 in 8" twist for 30 cal. Those long copper mono's are going to take up a lot of case space, so'll you'll need big cases. For 7mm, I would chamber in 28 Nosler. Almost any action can be set up for 3.850" magazines, which are long enough for 28 Nosler. 30 cal is a little more difficult. 300 RUM is a great chambering, but pretty long for most action and magazine set-ups. 300 Lapua and 300 Norma Improved are great chamberings too, but need actions with larger diameter bolts and tenons. You would need to talk to your gunsmith about the plusses and minuses of the various large-case-capacity 30 cal chamberings. [/QUOTE]
