[QUOTE="ptsdvet, post: 738136, member: 56222"] If you want an action you can not beat a 98 Mauser the action all others are a copy off the best. If your going to use a savage, Remington or other curent manufacture you will be cheeper in the long haul to buy new what you want, and look at a lot of scopes compare 1" to 30mm. Millet is one the best under 400, Vortex viper is top notch in the middle and then their are over $1000. Mauser action $200 to $450. 26"Barrels start at $250 and you can spend $500 Stockes start $250 your gun smith work $400 t0 $500 Oh I've spent $1300 and I do not have a scope or even a sling and I havent mentioned a triger. To a person who shoots steel their is no compairison to killing an animal. Animals have adrenal glans and just hitting it does not kill it. Elk shot with 270 at under 100yards I have trailed 5 hrs in snow in MT. Kodiak bear shoot 5 times with 375 H&H Tree times first charge twice second charge died 3 miles from in counter, cleared enough brush for two hue, land pads with lungs scatered all over the brush. Have seen 9oo to 2000 lbs animials shot within 50 ft. get up two or three times these were head shoot that should have broken the first medicarcal but then there is aderendien in the animal things happen. Alaskan Eskimos weapon of choice over and under 222 20 ga. I have killed Moose with 22 they die easy Elk, Mountin Goats and Bears do not. 338 Lupra is great long range sniper rifle, the 338 caliber is an exlent choice for big hevey boned game but the Lupura is a lot of powder down tube for the average shooter.
