Does Savage usually build there 300 Win Mags on small or large shank barrels/actions? I am thinking about building a ELR 300 Win Mag with 27" or 28" tube plus 3 port muscle break, after I get done with my Creedmoor build. If I have done my research correctly I should be able to push some high BC 210gr bullets around 2900fps and not be subsonic until out past a mile. My goal for this gun would be to get out to a mile on gongs or whatever I could shoot at.
I know I could just go with a 338 Edge, but I want to be able to run CDI bottom metal with AICS mags. I believe the AICS long mags will hold a 3.6" round max. That leaves me room to work with the 300 Mag as far as seating depth, where as the 338 Edge, 3.6" is the starting depth for seating. As always thanks for the help.
