[QUOTE="junkpile, post: 719187, member: 57489"] Michael, you have just reminded me how much I don't know. I may go back to looking at the 308. I was just thinking today about what I would do with my current deer rifle, and I've also got a 9.3x62 that has seen no use since I left Alaska. Might be able to trade some of these out and be able to actually use everything I own. Trickymissfit, I don't think I'm after a generic rifle. I wanted to use the Savage action due to the fact that I can change calibers as I desire, and as funds show themselves. I was actually toying with the idea of getting a long action, even though I might be running something like a 243, or 308 or 7-08, just so I could switch over to something else if I wanted to. I'm planning for a heavy barrel, but have no intention of making this thing look pretty. I'm just not into pretty guns for some reason. To me, they are still just tools. Anyway, I was going to build an action support that extends back to the grip, and then runs forward beneath the barrel, but with plenty of space. I will be able to swap the barrel out without removing the "stock" provided I don't need to lock the action into a vise, which I know is a distinct possibility... And I'm rambling. Michael, what are your thoughts on moose and brown bear with the 308? [/QUOTE]
