I am considering building a new custom off a savage action. I know it may not be the most popular action but I like them. I have a long action to start so mag length will be no issue.
I want to build this for my wife to shoot along with a neice and nephew. I plan to put an adjustable lop stock on it for that reason. It will be a heavy gun as it will be only used in shoot house or beanfields.
Now for the question, what caliber would you build this in? I have pondered the idea of a 7/08 or 7/08ai. The gunsmith recommended a 22/243 but Im not sure that's what I'm after.
The gun will not have a break on it because a lot of kids don't like the sound so I don't want to large of a caliber.
I ask that in your recommendation you give me reasons for the chooses you pick.
Thanks
