I would call Mcwhorter custom rifles in Ga. A 7mm stw with a Ti action and a #4 brux barrle should get the weight you desire. I had my dream rifle built by mcwhorter and have been extremely happy with it. The rifle has dropped 625 pound boar, elk, Watusi. The 7mm stw should fit the bill on a trophy red stag. Good luck and I hope you have a great hunting season.

There are three types main types of red deer farming, meat where some farmer have elk sire put over red hind to produce a bigger animal for the meat market
Red deer velvet farming for export to China, the smaller stags and yearling hinds go in to market export to Europe.
Red stag trophy farming, this is all about genetics and selective breeding at the highest level for the biggest antlers and most amount of points. A lot of time has gone into these animals good quality food, big paddocks with a low amount of stags in them. When its not the rut you can in walk in the paddocks with them only meters away. All the country's top end stags have names, get there semen milked from them year after year and put in liquid nitrogen for IVF breeding. Then at 7 or 8 years when fully mature it gets sold to the outfitter. Some stags my change hands 5 or 6 times before being shot and each time they change farms they have to learn where each stag is in the hierarchy and a lot of fighting. Dart guns only used by vets if a animal is in trouble.
We have thousands of free range wild deer in New Zealand so many in places that the government has helicopter recovery culling operations. Not that many good heads but still good fun hunting them and they taste great. I normally shoot 50 deer a year without putting a dent in the population and a lot less than I did when I was younger.

Who told you the US saved our arses in WW2? The Us didn't enter WW2 in Europe until it was almost over and most Kiwis at the time thought the yanks were arrogant pains in the arse. General consensus was "overpaid oversexed and over here". My grandfather was home recovering from wounds and had several brawls with your guys. Won them all too, according to my grandmother,, who should know. You need to re-educate yourself, friend, without believing too much of your own propaganda.
