    My pick would be the Browning in 7mm RM, with a scope that's in the 3-14 range or the likes.
    Reasoning being, the 7mmRM is great round for hand loading and with the 7mm projectile choice out there you will find exactly what you're after. The rifle is just a matter of preference but for a long range rig you would want at east a 24".
    And the scope range i think you would want to be able to zoom out at least to 4.5 ish. I hunt Tahr with a 4.5-14 but I'd like to be able to zoom out further if I could.
    That's just my 2c cents and I am by no means an expert, I just keep changing gear as I find what work for me and what doesn't.
