I would say buy a rem. 700 action and barrel. Pick up an HS presicion or bell & carlson stock with an aluminum block. Bed it. Drop in a timney trigger. The x mark pros are not too bad. I am partial to .284 caliber. Replaced my 7mil rem mag with a .280 rem. So i am biased on those calibers. If you want .30 cal get a 30.06, it does everything the 308 can and more. Bullet size has huge range from 120gn to 180. 300 win mag is finicky and can be frustrating to find a load it likes, it almost demands a reloaders touch.

I am a reloader and because of that i pick what ever cartidge i want with no worries of availablity or price for a box of 20. But if you want a capable caliber that can reach out there, is versitile and factory loads are easy to find... 30.06 is your best bet.
