[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1254035, member: 12282"] Thanks fellas for the reading.... I like the 280 Rem AI some.... I will check what sort of 280 rem brass can be had. That idea spurs me to think about 30 cal options.... Quality lapua brass 30-06 is available, and though not common, what about 30-06 AI? It has to be a little better than the original no doubt..... For the folks that recommended less than .284, remember I'd like to build up to something that can do elk -- without causing guides to go insane... And for the .338 ideas..... Well, guess I am a sissy. Just not going there..... 300 Win Mag is a real consideration too. Old school. Quality brass out there I think... Would need a different bolt face and magazine feed alterations though.... As for this being a "carry rifle" -- NOT. I have the sweetest little Tikka 6.5x55 that shoots quite well. I'd like to build a rig that one basically lugs into place and has some range. But not a sniper build -- or whatever it should be called. I like something that still looks like a hunting rifle...... Well, thanks. I'd welcome more ideas too. Happy Holidays..... [/QUOTE]
