[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 801625, member: 1940"] I had a .300 Jarrett built on a trued 700 action in the mid 90's. It made a fine rifle. That case is based on the .375H&H. The bolt face was opened, as it started out as an '06, and I had a longer Wyatt magazine box installed. The action is fine. For the use you have described, I would suggest a rifle similar to that one would be ideal. It used a 24" #4 taper barrel and a McMillan stock. Trigger was the original with a trigger job done. It turned out to be an excellent trigger. Total weight of the rifle was an even 7lbs. without scope. I had a brake on that rifle because 200 gr bullets launched at just over 3000 fps recoiled a bit. As for caliber, I would agree with the 7 mag. I have sold all my .300, and larger, magnum rifles and currently use a .270 WSM and a 7 mag. High BC bullets in lower weights make for less recoil and equal killing ability when compared to the .30 cal's. [/QUOTE]
