Want to build a killing rifle

Suggest me a gun

First thoughts are a 338-06

Or trade for a magnum action and build a 300 win Mag or rum

I'd like a 25in tube and prefer not to run a brake but realize this gun is going to be 7.5lbs or so all up so it might be necessary

My wheels are turning thanks for any suggestions



First Choice:
Build a 280AI with the receiver, bolt, and stock you have now.

Second Choice:
Buy a new magnum bolt from http://www.davidtubb.com/custom-bolt-right-hand-la-mag-bolt-face
then build one of these: 7RemMag, 7STW, 7Yukon, 7Mashburn, or 7Dakota
