I am doing this in concert with Woodycreek. We have been BS'ing for about a week now about a new rifle for elk hunting. The 30-06 AI seems to look really good on paper. 180's at 2900 or so, and he already has an action ready to go. It would require he buys new dies and cases for the build.
The other option would be to buy another M700 SPS 300RUM and work that rifle. A new stock, maybe a brake and a trigger. Already have the dies and such. Looking for strictly elk and the rifle needs to be portable. Not going to be a super long range rig, with 500 yards being about the max. Whats your thoughts on this.
The 3rd option is buying a complete rifle, like a M70 Extreme Weather, Redhawk Rifles or something like that, that is already built with quality all the way around in something like a 300WSM. This is kinda for fun and doesn't have to be absolute, nor do your answers have to be based in common sense, just within the three cartridges, or "slight" variations there of. Scotty
