I think any of the 4 (243,260,7-08,308) would fit the bill with right action, barrel, and bullets. I'm drooley over the 7mm version lately. Thinking 162 Amax for everything beyond 400 and 160 PT/AB for everything to 400. A lot of good bullets in 7mm cal though, including the 168 Berger Classic Hunter, that could also get swapped for the Amax.

In your terms, 1tnhunter, that would be Amax or Berger for LR targets, and 160 PT/AB for hunting. Elk is always in the program here though, and I like bullet weight a lot.
