last year my oldest and best friends dad passed away.While going through his stuff he came across some older sako long actions NIBand kindly gave me one.So the question is which caliber to build a rifle on.His dad was one of the first people I knew who had a STW so that's the sentimental favorite.I've talked to a local gunsmith.it's gonna be a hart or shilen med contour barrell and mcmillian stock.

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
I'm at work soI can't put my hands on it but I believe it is a L691M.
That action should work. Only 2 I would considerwould be the 300 win or 7 STW. If your going to be shooting mostly deer I would go STW using 140 grain bullets..load up 160's for the bigger stuff. I would look at other barrel manufacturers as well.

I would opt for the .300 Win Mag., if I wanted a good all around big game hunting rifle. If wanted something a little out oif the ordinary or different, I would consider the7mm STW. Yeah, the 7mm STW has it beat in speed and a tad better trajectory, but it's just awful hard to beat a good shooting .300 Win Mag for all around big game hunting. There is also more handloading/reloading options for the .300 Win Mag and not to mention the variety and availability of factory ammo.
BTW, You cannot and will not go wrong with a Hart barrel. It's is as good as any and better than most on the market. Don't let anybody tell you other wise.
