If you're looking at a standard 110 Savage action: I would look at these calibers: 338 edge, 7mm-300 winchester magnum, ect. What are you looking at doing, and what range are you planning on shooting?

I'm going to say a 28 Nosler throated for 195's with a 28-30" tube

a 300 tomahawk (or rum) and 338 edge II would be good as well. more so if you use warner flat line bullets

The best choice would probably be a factory 112 target in .338 Lapua magnum.
Or any one of these would get waaaaay out there.

Just be aware before you jump in of the cost of the necessary bases, rings, optics, ammo and practice to go that far.
The incidentals of shooting that far quickly makes the rifle costs negligible
