[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1566699, member: 52585"] Then I'd lean on a 700 in 7rm with a 180 berger, eld or similar since you're converting a magnum action. If target shooting out to 1k is the only thing you want to do I think there's better choices for less recoil and better barrel life. I'd consider a short action 6 or 6.5 shooting a high bc bullet. Look up the ballastics on a 6mm 115 berger or 65 140isb grain high bc bullet and they're good for 1k with relative ease. When started at 2600 give or take they'll get the job done. For near endless barrel life and ease of shooting the 6 dasher or 6x47 lapua would be worth looking into. I'd love to do something like this myself but went the compromise route with a 22 inch Axiom / Muller barreled action in 65 Creed. It would be good for fun shoots to 1k and deer / hog hunting at reasonable ranges. You could sell one of the two listed to help fund a new build or just start from scratch. Could be a fun project.
