[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2904535, member: 17722"] I just turned 71, my grandson turns 10 tomorrow. At my age I am lining up what weapons to leave with him. Besides him getting some of the iconic weapons of our time from my collection, I am building him another hunting rifle. On hand is a Defiance AnTiX nitrided, magnum boltface. Special S/N, grandson's initials and birth year. On hand, McMillan molded in Woodland camo. Not totally set on this. Chassis system is still an option. On order is a March 2.5-25x52 FD-1 MOA. Barrel to be ordered will be 24 or 26 CFW. Brand, TBD. SRS 5 Port Ti Pro 3/4x24 Still not decided on the cartridge, but caliber will be limited to 7 and 30. Not a 6.5 fan. I am looking ahead what would be the cartridge that will stand the test of time. Factory ammo available for him way after I am gone. 7 PRC 300 PRC 7 RM 300WM I will do the metal work, furniture work and cosmetics will be sub out to professionals who do this kind of work for a living. IF YOU WERE DOING IT WHICH CARTRIDGE WOULD YOU DO? [/QUOTE]
