A question I've been asking myself for quite some time.
Here's some random thoughts
Short action or a long action.
Hide hunter or predator shooter.
What's the biggest, meanest, nastiest critter you are likely to call up. Here in Montana it would have to be the Grizzly Bear. We are over run with the critters.
For me, if I ever do this, it will be a .260 Remington because I have a short action, I don't hunt hides, and it will take care of the big nasty things.
Check out this rifle for ideas:
