what is the planned use ?
I like to stop and think what is my use and if I am only thinking about that use what features do I want ?
build to the use

Be used for letting the air out of moose,elk and deer along with the odd coyote and rare wolf. I'd also like it to ring the steel across 880 yds. More or less planning on making it my do all.

Save your $. Build off a Savage action. Really
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Pete, yes I'm a reloader. Figure if I go with the 26 nos I'll be shooting those 156 gr bergers or 142 gr lrab's. Those 142s work good in the 26 I've got already.
Bucs I've got the action already but ya I know what you're saying. I've heard guys rebarreling their savages are getting some stellar results at a bargain price.
if you already have a 26 nos and dies and load for it , then sounds good almost everything is capable of banging steel at 880 even the lowly 308 right now ammo and brass availability in the US and powder prices , I would error on the side of availability but that may not be an issue for you an everything rifle to me is something not much over 8 pounds all ready to go hunting that you can carry all day.

Dont tear up the win mag. You already have a rifle that will work. If the real use is you want a new rifle. One to show your other gun nut buddy's then thats a different story. I get wanting a new rifle just cause you want a new rifle. I am not your wife though.

What's everyone's thought on the new 6.8x51. Being a military round I'm assuming it will stick around. Ballistics sound like the 270 win but in short action. Will the our common actions handle the higher pressures? If they would I'd be intrested in some day pairing it with a 788 action. I'm a big fan of both the 270 win and the 788.

Thanks for the advice fellas. Is there any benefit to spiral fluting vs longitudinal fluting? over the length of the barrel spiral gives a little more surface area your basically doing 2 things with either 1 weight reduction 2 cooling if you shoot more rounds in a string the greater surface area theoretically cools better , you might need some calibrated sensors to actually measure the difference between the two and time with bolt open would also play a factor the reason most machine guns fire from an open bolt is that when your not firing the chimney effect cools the barrel is the added surface area big enough to make a difference ,. not for hunting at least not for the cooling effect weight is much more easily measured

while I really appreciate a glass smooth action , the ability to mount optics the way I use them makes a big difference in a hunting rifle I had a beautiful sporterized 1903A3 and smoothest action I have ever had even accurate , I sold if because at the time I could not find a good way to mount the optic where I wanted it a few years later an option to mount became available by then I was carrying a 308 set up how I wanted and if it gets a scratch hunting oh well the 695 has the mount to get that scope out where I would want it , but others don't have this need from a rifle https://www.egwguns.com/tikka-695-picatinny-rail-20-moa
