[QUOTE="amcardon, post: 3506795, member: 26766"] Would you go with something like a Rem700 off-the-rack rifle, or a full custom? Right now I'm planning a build on an Impact action, Foundation stock, chambered in 6.5 PRC. It will take me a minute to get there, but that will give me time to get components to load for it. Even with 6.5 PRC you can go with a short or long action receiver. There are so many stinking variables out there... Are you looking for something you can change the barrel out on yourself, like a rem-age or barloc option, or will you build and shoot till the barrel is shot out then have a smith spin up a new barrel? For what you posted, I don't think you'd regret any of the calibers you listed. 270 will have the most off-the-shelf ammo options, especially if you go with an off-the-rack rifle. If this is just for hunting, I'd honestly go simple and go 270. If this is for long range target with occasional hunting, I'd go 6.5 PRC (then depending on which bullet you want to shoot, that should point you in the right direction between short or long action.
