[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1123798, member: 12193"] Do you reload your own ammo? If so I would go with a big 338 of some kind. I know you said caliber decision will come later, but a 338-378 Weatherby, 338 Lapua, or Lapua Improved will all require a larger than standard action. If you don't reload I would go with one of the RUM chamberings, 300 Win Mag, or 300 Norma Mag. Those can be had in a regular magnum length action. Kinda depends on how heavy of a barrel and stock you want, but here are a few options I'd consider: Weatherby Accumark in 338-378, have a gunsmith bed and do trigger job. Alternatively, a Sendero 300 RUM or Rem 5R 300 Win and have the same work done. One of Len's rifles: [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/rifles/]Best Long Range Hunting Rifles - Ready To Ship[/url] Cooper rifles are ready to ship from a number of dealers. You're limited to the standard magnum chamberings here. Hill Country Rifles has quite a few custom guns ready to ship. APS Rifles is well known for quality but usually has a long lead time. Find a good local gunsmith and have him build you one. Watch the classifieds on this site. [/QUOTE]
