My Dream Rifle
Here's what I want. I hunt Deer and Elk and I see this as the best rifle for me. Unfortunately no one makes "this" gun (yet);
.300 Ultra Mag
Detachable external box magazine
Stainless
Composite stock
I know the Browning A-bolt is close but I want a mag. that just drops straight out without opening the hinge plate.
Remington? Browning? Winchester? Are you listening?

RE: My Dream Rifle
a 300 ultra mag? why a round that big? i always thought that the winchester 300 mag was kinda on the big side. anywayz. all you need is 1 shot i agree. i like detachable boxes better but hinged aren't bad. i guess this rifle is still your dream rifle because you'll be dreaming for a lil wihle until a gun company makes one of these.

Certainly must be some merit in what gregwth7mmmag says. I note that not even Sako provides a removable mag for any of their rifles that they have chambered for the 300 Ultra mag. If Sako could have offered a removable mag I'm sure they would have. gg.

RE: My Dream Rifle
A detachable magazine wouldn't work because it is so long. You would have to seat the bullets to deep. I agree with the other replies, if you hit an animal with the 300 Ultra Mag you don't have much of an animal left. One shot one animal unless you miss
Why work when you can hunt???? Heck why work at all!!

RE: My Dream Rifle
Thanks for all the replies. I didn't know that about the length being an issue but I see what you mean. Perhaps I should look for this rifle in 300 WSM instead? Might be good enough for what I need. I don't need the 300 UM but I have several friends that have them and they are all nice guns and shoot very well. Would hate to be "out-gunned" by my buds 
The main reason I'm thinking of changing is my 7mm Browning just isn't accurate. I've tried about everything short of a new barrel but I just can't get good accuracy with her. Usually nothing better than 2" at 100 yds with handloads (and also with all manufacturer's ammo). Instead of pulling out my hair with this gun I figure I should just upgrade to a new one. I'd like one that is big enough to hunt Moose and Bear if I ever go that way but I can only afford to have 1 big game rig.
I'm kind of leaning toward the Christianson Arms Carbon rifle. Anyone tried one of these?
