CRF, Controlled Feed Action...
synthetic stock, stainless barrel
.375H&H

Any of the .338's would work, .338 Win.Mag.,RUM, .340 Wby, but for an Alaskan brown bear hunt that has .375H&H written all over it...

If you got a .416 I'd look at the .416 Rigby or .416 Ruger, but no need for a .416, but if looking for a youre one and only big boy and plan to hunt africa I'd consider a .416 then possibly. Get a .375 now though and get a .416 for africa later...

Aside from going custom, Kimber Talkeetna, or if Winchester Model 70 ever happens...
CZ now makes one with a synthetic stock but its not a stainless barrel, that would be one of the better/cheaper routes. That talkeetna is around $2,000 I believe.

My dream gun would be an empire rifles in such a setup though, which I think is a good 5 or 6k.

What calibers do you already own? Also a .375 makes you legal for anything worldwide...ie cape buffalo, whereas a .338 would not be, least not everywhere.
