[QUOTE="Toecutter, post: 1105099, member: 71488"] Sooo, long story short I had put together a savage short actioned rifle in 6mm BR with a shilen select match varmint taper bbl as my egg shoot gun back when I lived in Massachusetts. Fast forward 3 months and a lifelong dream realized, I live in Northern Idaho and my rifle needs have changed. Looking to make this into a 10lb long range deer and possibly elk gun. Ive got some lighter guns for the job and some heavier guns as well, but I'd like to change this one into a western long range thumper. Since I'm limited to a short action, I was thinking 7mm or 300 wsm. Any suggestions would help as I've never loaded for either of these. Also looking for suggestions on where I could source a pre cut savage bbl for whatever caiber I go with. Another shilen select match will be 3-4 months out which doesn't work for me as the season is just around the corner. Thanks in advance, Nathan [/QUOTE]
