[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1100597, member: 90399"] I received a PM today from 375ultramag, who appears to be from Michigan like myself. I give him credit for all of this info. There is actually a company right here in my home state that does exactly what I'm looking for; Ultimate Firearms. They have very nice bolt action rifles based on the Remington 700 action that shoot both the 450 Bushmaster and 460 S&W Mag Improved (which I believe is a 45 Raptor). Both of those cartridges are legal in the shotgun areas of Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. They get their barrels from Lothar Walther and have a 1:24 twist. Can get 20, 22, or 24 inch. [URL="http://ultimatefirearms.com/gamebreaker.php"]450 Bushmaster - 460 Smith & Wesson Mag - Game Breaker Rifles[/URL] Interesting that the 460 Mag Improved appears to be rimless and can use the same bolt face as a standard 308 Win. Doing a bit more reading also pointed out that the 450 Bushmaster can be made on an AR15 platform and the 45 Raptor can be made on an AR10 platform; if a semi auto is preferred. Thanks again to 375ultramag for the information! [/QUOTE]
