[QUOTE="clownbuster, post: 1734873, member: 22486"] Short or long action? Sorry if this was determined already... If you're sticking with the standard bolt face and its a short-mid length action, based on your criteria, I'd build a 7 SAW: -162 to 168gr bullets from a 22" suppressed tube can expect speeds over 2800 fps with RE-16 or H4350. That'll carry 1775 fps @ 1175 lb/ft to 800 yards with recoil a touch over your 6.5 CM. That's plenty to kill any of the animals you mentioned and bigger with a marginal shot. - The use of Lapua 308 Palma SRP (stronger case head) in one pass and no neck turning; or you can buy factory 7 SAW SRP brass (Alpha) from the guys at West Texas Ordnance that's ready to shoot. - Shooting a 6.5 CM you already source and stock small rifle primers and the appropriate powders for the 7 SAW. - Desirable bullet seating at or above the neck-shoulder junction and still fit and feed from a magazine.
