[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1603410, member: 106259"] Dinging steel at a thousand with a light enough rifle for typical hunting applications could mean that one discipline suffers, a good compromise is a #5 barrel contour from your favorite barrel maker or a carbon wrapped barrel to provide stiffness and reduced weight. I also am a big fan of the 280ai, 7mm bullets have more potential at longer ranges than 30 cal with better sectional density and higher bc, less wind drift etc. It's much more comfortable to shoot than the magnums with pretty close practical velocities. Squeezing the nth degree of velocity out of a round don't mean much if it ain't accurate enough at long range. If you choose the magnum route, I have a PTG bolt for sale that will work in a Rem LA. Fluted, big knob, Sako extractor. [/QUOTE]
