[QUOTE="Lapua guy, post: 466759, member: 28489"] [b]Re: Input Wanted for Ultimate "One Rifle" for North American Game - $10k Including Op[/b] If you can spend 10K, I wouldn't just buy one rifle. You could build 3 elite rifles to fit different needs for that. The whole 'one rifle for all' idea isn't really that great of an option. That being said, i think the 7mm Mag or possibly a 7mm STW would be best. If you have 10K, build a 7mm STW or 7mm Rem Mag, and one of the 7mm 08/243/308 type rifle or substitute in a 300 WM or WSM in place of the 7mm. Those would all be better options than one overbuilt 30.06 (which would be overkill to build with the components you are listing). And you could put great glass on both and still be under budget. No matter how well you build the 06, it is a 400 yard firearm. The 300 WM or 7mm Mags will get you to a 1000 with some decent glass and a lot of practice. [/QUOTE]
