My son is a pro sheep guide and has been all over the world,He Hunts with a 338 Federal, Model 52 Cooper with 200gr Bullets.He killed a blue sheep in Nepal at 497 yards.He loves the rifle.18 inch barrel.
My next purchase is going to be a Savage mod 12 low profile in 22-250, w/a 1in 9 twist.A bit pricey but what the hey.Want to shoot some 75 gr bullets.
It is Savage# 18468.Put a Leupold 6.5-20 on that bad boy and reach out there.:)

I have a couple of them, one in 204,and one in 243.I put a Vortex 4-12 Diamondback on both,and I really like them.I bought them on Ebay.1 for $130 and the other for $159.
My next American is going to be a 6.5 Creedmore.
Good luck in what ever brand you pick
Randy
