[QUOTE="Jeremyc, post: 1143608, member: 84569"] I am seriously considering liquidating my rifle collection to get one custom gun that will do it all. I live in Montana and hunt antelope, deer, elk, black bear, well... basically everything I can. I am thinking that I can't go wrong with a 300 win mag, but also considering a 300 RUM, 338 Lapua, 338 Norma. Basically the sky is the limit. I do not want a barrel burner and I would rather be a bit on the heavy side vs a bit on the lite side. I don't like elk running and currently use a 300 win mag as my elk gun. Here is what I want: * Something I can shoot comfortably (at the range) - I'll probably muzzle break it * Something I can suppress * Something that is 1000 yard capable * Reasonably economical to shoot. I try to shoot every other weekend so I don't want to burn the barrel or spend lots of money per shot I like the idea and ballistics of a 300 Norma mag or the 300 RUM but I think that I will burn out the barrel too quickly. I'd prefer it to be a better shooter than a lighter gun. I don't mind packing a bit of weight at this time of my life. As for custom gun makers, there are many in Montana so I'd like to keep it in state, but can be convinced otherwise. Some I have been looking at are Snowy Mountain Rifles, Montana Rifle Co, Montana precision rifles, Knapps Custom Guns. I appreciate all of your opinions. Thanks, Jeremy [/QUOTE]
