[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2693668, member: 106514"] You would do fine with any of your choices with the custom modifications you mention. The SAUM is quite inherently accurate in my experience with a few of them. Sounds like a Sherman would be a good fit for you, also. My .30 Nosler came with a decent amount of freebore without mods, but you may want even more. I can't recall the exact length and am too lazy to look it back up, but the .30 Nos is essentially a very slightly improved .300 Dakota with few outward changes. The main changes is the .010" reduction in head diameter to make it fit a standard magnum boltface without having to open up the face slightly. Having said all this, my gunsmith that built my Dakota uses a 300 WSM that he modified similar to your plans. He's made some crazy long shots and swears by it after 10 years now. You can't go wrong provided you choose the correct action length and keep brass readily available for your application. Sounds like an intriguing undertaking. I prefer being different myself, and completely understand! [/QUOTE]
