I have a long action 700 what to do with it

[Huntin' Gun]

I was thinking a 8mm/06 AI, or if you want more bullet choices, then a .30-06 AI.

Here's a crazy idea... a .30-284 AI. It would do what a 300 WSM would do, and with the long action you could seat the bullets out really far.

.338-06 all the way.

280 or 280 AI

338-280AI. Just to be different... 280 AI brass is available, it's a simple neckup to 338 and it's a critical 1/10th of an inch longer than a 06 case..

You already have the samller bore's covered, so a 338 makes the most sense.

guntech said .338-06 . . . read no further!

When is your holiday over Dennis?

I agree with you with the 338-06.

If you want to do a bit if quirky do an 8mm Gibbs or a 338 Hawk. Both are '06 case based and both will get 2800fps or better out of a 200gr bullet. Tons of smack down for that platform.

7x64 or 9.3x62.
