[QUOTE="banjo318, post: 798755, member: 59148"] Hey guys, Ive got an old tired 7mm rem mag that is a custom long range rig. It is going to need a new barrel soon and i was wondering if anyone here had some suggestions. But heres the kicker,, must be okay on deer too, somewhat light recoiling (less than 338 lapua magnum) and must fit the "feel" of the rifle, buy that i mean no ***** calibers :). Ill post the pic with this as im sure you have already seen. I would love something in the 338 range, but have considered calibers as low as .264. All suggestions must have a bolt face no larger than ultra magnum. I would like to have a .243 ackley improved, but sadly, it is only okay on elk to 700 yards and on deer to 1100. No oddball wildcats as i am getting it from E.R Shaw and have to choose from their calibers listed. When all is said and done, the rifle will weigh in at 14 lbs. [/QUOTE]
