Yeah 338 norma was my first thought but like the .338sin still to long for a SA.Although you could single feed and remove the bolt to ecject a loaded round but thats all a bit budget really. 30 cal fatso would be interesting with the new 230gr hybrids.

I have thought of doing something like this with my 7mmSAUM which I don't "need" anymore. Thinking 338 Thor/Excaliber, single shot, probably 27 inch barrel. But I'm trying to sell the rifle to resist the temptation... In my way of thinking, a hot 7mm out performs a 338 Norma as an all round hunting rifle (other than barrel life), so if you are doing a 338, do a big one...

You wont regret the the 338 excaliber imp 300gr 3150fps, I've just got to get the brass sorted and mine should be up and going some time next year.
You might not need your bigger 338 anymore Claw??
Did someone say 375 Shhh smiley:

I suggested 243WSM as you allready have a barrel,338s are cool but how many of them do you want? for a "gerneral hunting rifle" hard to go past a 308, Oh hang on a minit how many of them do you want:grin: You must be a right barstard to buy a xmas present for! Ever thought of a fast twist 30/378? that would be cool but maybe not in a unbraked hunting rifle

Exactly why I'm thinking of selling the 7mmSAUM. Not that much of a gap between the 7mm FatMax and the 338 Lunatic that needs another rifle. Would make one or the other semi redundant...
