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...
