[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 266313, member: 2011"] Gene Jr, I was where you are a couple of years ago. I had a favorite 721 that needed to live a little longer. It was my Dad's rifle. I shot my fist PA buck with it at the age of 15, 51 years ago. I sent it off to Kirby Allen who turned it into a 270 Allen Magnum. Made it a single shot, cause I like the idea. An ADL type stock cause I like the idea. He put a #4 30" Lija Fluted barrel on it with a Defensive Edge Brake. I remodeled the B&C stock into something a little stiffer and added an ambidextrous thumbhole. I added a Zeiss 6.5-20 Conquest scope, my own bipond and carry system The whole thing weighs in at 12#s. I hunt the same as you. I hunt from several different hides distances apart. Due to the long barrel even at 12#s its not much fun to carry with conventional systems. It's just a bit front end heavy. I've developed a carry system that makes it almost unnoticeable to carry. I put one flush mount swivel about an inch ahead of the recoil pad on the "top" of the stock. then "T" off of the bipod. The gun is carried M60 style, is balanced very nicely, and doesn't interfere with either a light or heavy backpack. For a cartridge and one of the actions you mentioned, I'd recommend a 338 Edge especially if you don't want a single shot configuration. Good luck and keep us posted...... [/QUOTE]
