[QUOTE="Good, post: 531950, member: 18866"] If you are dead set on a 30 cal then I'd go with 300 RUM or a step down in 300 Win Mag. My bro in law just bought a 300 Win Mag in Savage 112BVSS and I love it! Remingtons are great also. A friend has an untouched 300RUM Rem Sendero, well, it has a McMillan A5 and brake, but the action is all factory, and it shoots heavy bullets lights out. I would get a Savage long action, put a trigger and brake on it, and shoot it, except it would be in a 7mm chambering, like the 7RUM. I'm not a 30 cal fan. It's a matter of opinion, but the 7 shooting heavies will do anything a 30 cal will do on the game you're hunting at extended ranges with more energy and less wind drift. 7Allen Mag would be a dream! Then in the future, if you get into it and go hunt moose or whatever, build a big gun in 375/408CT :D or something similar and have a battery. My goal is to shoot the highest BC bullets at the fastest speeds I can, to take as many variables (wind drift) out of the equation as I can. My $.02 worth for a fellow paintslinger! [/QUOTE]
