[QUOTE="Jeremyc, post: 1143672, member: 84569"] Thanks for the inputs. I will have to check out some of these options. I mentioned the 300 win mag because I recently got one and killed a few elk with it and am greatly impressed. I really like the performance of the 300 Norma, I'm just afraid that I would have to replace the barrel too soon. Ideally I would have a 260 Remington as a practice range gun, but if I am going to get a custom rifle I have to sell my others. That is the deal with the wife. I have a semi custom savage 260 and a savage 300 win mag I was planning to make matching, but I have a lot of guns that I don't use and I think that I would really like a custom rifle. I would probably eventually (4-5 years) get a practice rifle, but this custom rifle I would like to become very intimate with. If I didn't want to have the ability to kill elk at 700-1000 yards, I would be looking at a 6.5 offering. I think that heavy 30 caliber bullets or 338 caliber bullets will fit what I am looking for. Also, you can only shoot one gun at a time so if I set it up correctly with the optics and get a g7 rangefinder I think it will be better than multiple guns in the safe that I rarely shoot [/QUOTE]
