I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

That's my choice too so had a LH Rem 700 rebarreled. For the OP I would also add a 30-06, one of the smaller 300 Magnums to the mix.

270 or 30'06, had to have both to stay sane. 270 shoots better at 300 than the 06 does at 100. Work in progress. New Haven beauties.

A bolt action 30-06 of whatever brand fits you best.

Better keep working on her. Start with taking that chitty hot glue bedding out and putting a good dose of Devcon 10110 in there....

Slightly over budget but I'd go with a 270 84L Montana.

I've got a model 70 FW in 6.5x55 with 1-4 Denver Redfield on it. Think I'll just keep it.

Minty used Mod.70 sts Classic in .338WM, with $$$ left for some action mods.
I assume the $1000 is for the rifle only, would install a Micky and two Leupy MX3 1.75x6 MHD scopes in Talley QDS.

A synthetic stocked,stainless steel,.338 Win. Mag.,weighing in around 8# to 8 1/2#. Moderate recoil,flat trajectory with good BC bullets, sufficient performance to cleanly kill far beyond ranges most of us should be shooting,and will work well on any big game animal in North America. memtb
