    Hi Mate,

    I've got on my xmas shopping list a The Ruger American RifleŽ Ranch Bolt-Action Rifle Models
    in AAC 300 blackout which given the price point for these might be a option to start at. I like the 16.5 inch barrel already for a suppressor like a little DPT or something.

    Could you get a Boyd's for that? don't know they're still pretty new on the scene. It has a nice 4 shot rotary mag and you could happily shoot subsonic loads with a 225 or 112 or 125 super loads quite happily with not much more recoil than a 223.

    I agree with scribe tho a well placed 223 round in 55gr blitz (outback) or Hornady v-max is more than enough explosively for neck shots to drop the animal pretty much on the spot.

    Just another thought? and has a very good price tag. Factory rounds a bit pricey but I'm sure there's guys who'd be happy to get you some handloads to try.

    Good luck on the search...
