[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 908580, member: 12"] First off, do you reload or not? IMO, which some will disagree with, :) There is nothing wrong with either the 7 Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag or 300 WSM for what you want in either custom or factory. All three are easy to buy factory ammo for and to reload for. I would tell you to find a good used custom rig in one of those calibers or go with the Tikka T3 lite. Nothing wrong with T3, and all it might need is another stock. I am not a fan of the factory 700s in magnums, especially with the riveted extractor. see the link below on my carry gun and why I say that, plus you can set your carry gun up similar with any ballistic reticle scope or the Huskemaw.
