[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1734994, member: 26227"] opinions are like... you fill in what ever you feel comfortable with. Everyone has an opinion. This is mine. Tikka is a good starting place. here is what I hear from you, it will be suppressed, it will be moderate to long range (100 to 800 yards), Do you have a long or short action? all you say is that you have a standard bolt face (.473"). Is your action a 308 case length or 30-06 case length? Short action I would make a heavy twisted (1:7") 308 so you could launch the 200+ grain slugs sub sonic to use your suppressor. long action I would put another heavy twist (1:8") barrel on for a 338 A-square AI also to take advantage of your suppressor and long range hunting. you can launch a 300 Grain VLD hunter at something and be assured it will fall in place. both should be very accurate and effective at ranges to include 800 yards. I would use Berger VLD Hunter's for both cartridges when shooting heavy slugs. yes, I am the Maverick of the thread but I give my advice on a case by case basis and give the best advice I can with the information you give. Later Tatters. [/QUOTE]
