[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1087052, member: 2736"] I would recommend something with a wide range of bullets that have good Ballistics. (.284) and something easy to find ammo in (280 Remington) with a wide recoil range (Depending on bullet weight). The 280 rem is one of the best all round cartridges for hunting. Bullets range from 90 grains to 190 and is capable of taking game from varmints to Elk size game with the right bullet choice. Recoil is very mild with 90 to 120 grain bullets and reasonable with 140 and 150 grain bullets. in the AI version, It can exceed the 7 rem mag with less recoil. Mag length will be no problem in a Long Action and with the standard bolt face it will be easy to find an action for if you don't already have one. There are many cartridges to chose from but for your needs/wants it would be my recommendation. If you want to use a shorter cartridge in a long action with the same requirements a 7/08 would be another choice. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
