[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 226072, member: 4964"] I thought about making it a single shot for long range plinking. I guess I can find a follower for it. I figure even with a good match bbl, I wouldn't have much in it. OK, now that I am going to buy it, let's kick the hornets nest. It is a long action. All my current configurations are based on short actions. What is the most efficient LA round. I don't want punishing and I really prefer not to have a break (too loud) I shoot with protection but there is the occasional shot hunting when I don't have my ears. I made the mistake one time of loosing my .308 which has a break without protection. I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! My ears rang for hours. I already have a .280 in a Thompson (good short range rig out to 250) Can shoot POA. to there comfortably. I am thinking 500-600 yds. max. at Southeast GA deer size targets (up to 150#) I don't really like a .270 (not enough bullet selection) .308 is anemic from a trajectory standpoint IMHO. What say you guys? [/QUOTE]
