    Ive got a 30-338 win mag, which is the 7mm Rem Mag necked out to 30 cal. You could get a Remington long action and enlarge the bolt face to fit the magnum case, and then you could almost do any magnum calibre you want. Mine put a 155g out at 3400fps and by the chart drops 24 moa over 900m, but yet to be proven on the range. A 260 Rem or 260AI would also work for a long range gun.

    Good luck with your decision making.
    How are you getting on with the build Normie?

    Nearly there. barrel/action should be back this week then I just need to bed and paint the stock. And work up a load, which shouldn't be too hard. 140gr A-Max 2209 42-43gr shoot.
    If you don't get Dirt, Blood or Grease under your nails it ain't a hobby
