Just trying to think of the best I might go with the experiance that I have so + some depends on the rules in your state or where you might hunt... those you will need to verify...

Construction
#1. Stainless Steel

Rifles
#2. A Remington 700 ML (a lot of people are going to cringe at that one - but no matter they are not made any longer)
#3. Omega - & if you have never used a thumbhole stock like myself go try you might be surprised as I was...
a) An Omega with a synthetic stock either thumbhole or standard your choice.. ( that will also cause a few cringes... the laminate stock is a bit bulky for me, heavier, and tends to be slick when wet)
#4 Probabably the next choice for me would be a Triumph or a Knight Rolling Block (KRB) and I would probably go with the Triumph again because of weight.
#5 If you like a short one then the Omega X7


Scopes...
#1 Bushnell Elite 3200 with ballistic reticule (3x9x40)
#2 Nikon Pro-Staff
#3 Leupold Rifleman

all with warne Quick Detachable bases although all of mine are solid mounts

Projectiles...

#1 Nosler Partitions...
.451/260 grain for whitetail/muley's
.451/300 grain for elk/bear/boar
.458/300 grain for elk/bear/boar
#2 Barnes bullets
#3 Speer Gold Dots
.452/250 grain for deer
.452/300 grain for elk

Sabots... this oneis a little difficult becauseit really depends on what rifle you purchase as to whichsabot will fit best....

But I tend to use more MMP HPH-24 .451-.452/50 Black sabots than anything else.

Hope some of this information and the information above and what will come below helps... It certainly can and will get confusing - like asking ford or chev...
