.300 Win Mag is the easy button. Recently took the path less traveled and had a LH Win M70 rebarreled for .300H&H with a 1:8" barrel. Why an 8" twist barrel? For the same reason I chose the .300H&H. Because that is what I wanted. And yes, the .300H&H's have been the absolute slickest feeding rifles I have ever owned...
What bullet are you going to shoot?
I laid in a goodly supply of 200gr Nosler Partitions several years ago. An accurate 200gr NPT load at 2750-2800fps should kill everything I will ever need to kill. "On paper", the Nosler ABLR 168gr should get me to 1,000 yards with one spin of the elevation turret on the Swarovski 2-16 I just acquired. Recently gained access to an area to shoot 700-800 yards. Figure I will have some fun while learning new skill.
@Beretz.... Yes, with 8" twist, I should be able to stabilize just about any 30 caliber bullet at 0*F standing on the shore of the Dead Sea...
