[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 24122, member: 8947"] DB offers very wise advice. If she will not be offended, run the alternative by her. Since you are leaning towards bigger better, consider a long action with a magnum bolt face. Calibre and barrel will not matter as you are likely to change it anyway. The standard bolt face is limiting and there will be additional costs to modify. Also, if a repeater is desired, the feed rails and follower/magasine may also need to be tweaked. Start off with a common magnum rifle and any changes are straight forward. A used rifle is also a good idea since most of the rifle will be changed. how about a used rifle AND a barrel of your liking? Jerry [/QUOTE]
