[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 433747, member: 8927"] How much work do you want to do to it? If you want to go all out, open up the bolt face and go for one of the WSM's, 270 or 7mm. You will also need to mill out the back of the reciever and fit and extended magazine box to make the most of the VLD type bullets. 26" barrel would be all you would need to go to. 25/284 is another. Bolt face is the same as 308, but would need to extend the magazine box. I have seen good reports with a 115gr berger (3100 with a 24" barrel) on deer out to 500 yds with it. Otherwise if you don't want to do much then as already said the 260 or 260AI would be good choices. Stu. [/QUOTE]
