[QUOTE="yotehunter243, post: 659696, member: 35602"] I have been looking for a while at building a lighter backpack rifle for up to Elk size game. I have my action and stock already. The action is a Mark X Long action standard bolt face, with a McMillian Sporter stock. In hopes of going back to Alaskam and Colorado i want to have a gun that i can shoot 800 yards easily on game. Right now i have a 6-284 being built by Benchmark Barrels for coyote hunting and as soon as its done i will be sending this action in. I was thinking a 6.5-284, 6.5WSM, or a 7mm/300WSM (for Norma Brass). I am not 100% sure what all i can do with this action as far as different calibers. More then likely i will be shooter or attempting to shoot either Berger bullets or Sierra. barrel life isnt any concern as it wont be a high volume shooting rifle. Any advice would be appreciated.
