[QUOTE="Hntbambi, post: 429642, member: 12797"] Ok, I have the big critters covered with a custom Rem 700 in 300 Wby and a brand new 700P in 338 LM. I have a 700PSS in .308 Win so the .30 calibers are pretty much covered. I have a Rem 721 long action (.473" bf) that is sitting in my toolbox that has gone way too long without a barrel. I am thinking about building a gun for deer/pronghorn sized critters. I am wanting something with light to moderate recoil so no magnums. I have had my fill of wildcats and no longer are interested in them, so a commercial cartridge is a must. It will be set up like a Sendaro platform, as I have the stock and have fitted the 721 already. The gun will have a 26" fluted barrel to reduce the weight a tad as it will be used as a deer gun. Since it has a .473" bolt face, I am leaning towards a 6.5-284 Lapua with a long throat to make the most out of this cartridge with the 140+ gr bullets. Any suggestions or other opinions are welcome.
