[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1315583, member: 9172"] Rem 700 short action custom switch bbl rig (308 bolt face) for a friend. He already has a 1-8 twist 6.5-47L tube on it to bang steel and for his 6 year old son to plink deer with. He wants to chamber up a lightweight carry tube for 500-600 yard deer and 400 - 500 yard elk. My 1st choice would be the 284 shooting the 168 - 180 class bullets. Or a 30-284 shooting 180 - 200's. tie for 3rd would be a 7mm08 AI or 308 AI. Is my guidance sound? He has no problems with AI or wildcat rounds. My worry is mag length with the longer bullets. Thanks, Tod [/QUOTE]
