    well looks like this has been done to death over 8 pages and I only found it tonight.?
    Sounds like a job for a short action, anything in the 308 family from 243 to 308 would be fine.
    Grab a Hardy carbon barrel and a carbon stock.
    Given how light it could be I would be looking at 243, 260, 7m08, (not the CM ones) with custom barrels for the heavy bullets and all will give you over 1000 ftlb energy at 500mtr.
    No suppessor so I would not go too short 22" min.
    And a 2-9, 2-10, 3-12 scope but probably stay 1" tube and a small objective 36-45mm.
