Hey guys I have 2 actions both 700 ADL one LA on SA. 30-06 on the LA, and 308 on the SA.

What would you guys do custom wise, specifically caliber. One is going to my dad one is going to me.

We have

308
30-06
375 HH

45/70
300 wsm

How do you intend to use these rifles?
Posted By: LBP Re: 2 actions - 11/28/16
338-06 and 6mm-250

6/06 and 6mm creedmoor or 6.5-06 and 6.5 creedmoor.

Be hard not to do a 22-250 on the S/A tho, seeing you dont have a 22 centerfire

6,5x55 & 6,5x47 Lapua

Posted By: MuskegMan Re: 2 actions - 11/28/16

The L/A is a 0.473 or 0.532" bolt face?

If the mag BF, then .257 or 264. The Bee if you don't reload and the Win Mag if you do.

He said in the first sentence.

The short action to be Whitetail and the long action will be Whitetail on up.

Should have stated that we have multiple 223 and a few 22 250

we reload everything so that's not a problem

'99 favors controlled-feed actions since they're easier for him to use.

Posted By: 257heaven Re: 2 actions - 11/28/16
I'd do a 6x47L on the SA and a 280AI on the LA.

Stock em, scope em. Done. You have two of the best chambering there are for your use. They are common and popular for good reason. Damn, I am getting boring as I age.

Pretty close to my thoughts, though I'd opt for a 6.5 Creedmo0r in lieu of the .243. 8 Twist in the 6.5; 8.75 or 9 in the 280AI.
