[QUOTE="436, post: 2318785, member: 16609"] Well, because your running a S/A and barrel under 24" inches and trying to stay with brass that might be more available I'd say the 7mm RSAUM could be a good fit, but... I think the original .284 Win would be a better one, just my thought. So, with that said.., if it were me, I think I'd look at the .300 RSAUM of which like the .284 Win I have a lot of time behind. Both in a short action... so... if I was doing the build a rifle and planned to keep my hunting within a reasonable range say zero to 600 for the big stuff and 800 for Deer size, I'd build an old-school 6.5 Rem Mag... why? because it's a fantastic cartridge that has never been given to just dues as a game taker and longer range paper puncher... and it works great in S/A rifles, downside; brass.
