[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 924120, member: 15229"] If this is the first time, I'd get one of Len's guns here, ask for some load development with a box loaded to start. About the only thing you will change after that might be the stock if it doesn't suit you, and you or any gunsmith can put a different stock on it done the road. You can sell the old stock here. You will have the custom action and the rest to ship to a gunsmith if you decide to change calibers. Don't get a rem 700 action, go custom, get a custom action first time around. Len's guns seem to be priced about right for the extreme quality of parts and such in them. Go 6.5x284, or 300 win mag would be my recommendation. I think the 7 rem mag is a dead caliber, not sure why Len started offering it. The 7 stw flat outshoots it and with the 195 grain eol coming out, the 7 stw will rain king soon again. But I'd go 6.5x284 or 300 win mag hands down if it were my first or last gun. [/QUOTE]
