Okay Men, I have a McMil Edge stock cut for a M-70 action, also have a South Carolina Winchester M-70 action, standard bolt face, were you guys going to build a utility varmint/hunting rifle for around the farm what would it be, I'd like to keep it above 243 cal, I'm leaning hard on 6.5x284 Lapua, standard 284 Win, or maybe a 280 AI, I already have a 7mm Mashburn Super, heavy 300 Win Mags and a big 338 cal.
Rifle will be for coyotes, hogs, deer etc out to a long 700 yards here at the farm and possibly longer shooting elsewhere.
Thanks in advance.
6.5mm PRC seems to have a lot of backing these days. I would strongly consider that cartridge instead of either a wildcat or a cartridge no longer supported by major manufacturers.
Just look at the .348 Winchester. Great cartridge. Impossible to find ammo for.
