[QUOTE="Autorotate19, post: 636712, member: 20956"] Thanks for all the responses. I have looked into doing a 30-06ai and it just seems like way to much trouble for not much gain at all. I talked to Elkaholic about his .300 sherman and it sounds awesome but I don't want to go through the trouble of fire forming and having to pay for custom dies. Im kind of leaning towards the 300 win mag at this point but who knows.:roll eyes: I eventually would want the rifle to have a magazine but its not a huge deal right now. If I went that route I would have to open the bolt face up, have the barrel reamed out to 300 win and eventually feed rails modified, spring and follower with the Wyatt's box. The only real reason Im debating over the .338 and 7mm right now is I figured the barrel was worth way more unfired than if I fired it and then changed my mind. I know I could probably call Hart but does anyone have an idea what the barrel is worth? Its a 10 twist #7 M40 contour fluted stainless 26", and teflon coated barrel. Anyone have any idea what the barrel weighs? Say I did keep it as is and leave it 30-06. What do you think the ideal bullet, load, etc would be for elk at long range and in your opinion how far could I shoot? I know Im jumping all over the place but there is so many different possibilities with this its kinda fun to think about! :D Thanks [/QUOTE]
