Looking for thoughts here. If you were to build a hunting rifle on a pre-64 Win action, (assume a 30-06 bolt face), what would you build?
Something light enough to carry on non-flat ground, and enough gun for game up to elk.
My thoughts are leaning toward a 280 or an AI even. Before someone says 30-06, my thought is that if you build it in '06 then you can just buy one rather than build one, and I really can't think of anything else that will give the performance of the 280 or 280AI with the 30-06 boltface.
Just pondering the idea on a bored Monday night.
