[QUOTE="Jim Maloney, post: 36191, member: 1683"] Ok, I'm open for suggestions here. I'm having a rifle built for a cape buff hunt but I also want to convert it to a long range paper puncher. It is going to be chambered in the .400 Tembo which is based on a .404 Jeffery case. I want to be able to which stocks, barrel, and scopes and have two rifles in one. I'm undesided what caliber to use for the long range barrel. The case head needs to be the same as the .400 Tembo to work(.537 bolt face). I'm thinking maybe the .300 RUM, .338 RUM or neck down the Tembo .30-404. Specs. on Tembo: Win. M70 SS Ultra length action.(blue printed) .400 Krieger SS match grade barrel.(African contour w/barrel band) Hunting stock.(Wood painted tact. black and bedded.) Badger rail mount. Little scope.(1.1-4x26 or 2-12x32) Long Range Specs.: McMillain A-5 Stock Krieger Heavy barrel w/break BIG!! scope(9-36x56 or 6-24x50) Any ideas or suggestions would be apperciated. Thanks in advance. Jim [/QUOTE]
