[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 297080, member: 10654"] Any caliber from 25-06 to the 7mm RM would be fine. The 270 is a great caliber. [B] 2" groups at 100yards is not acceptable accuracy for taking 500 yard shots[/B]. I would do what others have previously mentioned, but the most important item in my mind is a top quality custom barrel. Then I would have a gunsmith do a basic truing to the action and start shooting. I would go with a 24" barrel in a # 4 contour, not to heavy, or #5 at the most for a carry rifle. Learning to reload is a big factor in accuracy also. Bed your action in the wood stock with Devcon steel putty, and freefloat the barrel with at least 0.20 clearance. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
