Thread: Something bigger?

Beat me to it CD. I thought those numbers did not stack up.
I like the Savage too, but if 1/2 MOA rifles came off the shelf that well there would be no need for custom ones. I think your expectations may be a tad high.
All up though not a bad idea. The combo you list should perform well for the cost, and would be hard to beat in the price bracket.

Kelbley in the US now build the atlas range of hunting rifles (bell and carson stock ,basix trigger, krieger barrel, kelbley stolle action) that and from all accounts deliver on the accuracy part, possibly look at the 6.5-284 norma 1in8 twist 140grain berger certainly enough remaing energy to consistanly drop elk out to the rangers you are wanting and on par with the mighty 7mm Rem Mag. Cost is around $3000 and there is a dealer in Australia but not to sure who that is.

Cheers Rob
