[QUOTE="Crop Damage, post: 330958, member: 8652"] Thank you for the info. My buddy and I had talked about the .280, or maybe a .270 AI or .280 AI. I'm sure either of those or any 7mm (rem/rum/stw) would work. It would be nice to use my action the way it is. My thoughts about going bigger were because I've already got a 7STW. Its a hunting rifle though, and I keep it limited to 350 yards, sometimes 400 on a good day. It would need to be accurized, have a better scope, and be fed better handloads to reach out farther. I had figured I'd just use my Rem. action as a starting point, and have a long heavy contour barrel installed, a Timney trigger and an A5 style stock. I think that would be a fun rifle to shoot deer with. A lot of my buddies are shooting factory senderos, I'd like to have something a little different, just to keep them on their toes. So many decisions. [/QUOTE]
