Looking for a bigger caliber like a 30wsm or 338mag (somthing in this range)in a bolt action synthetic or wood and its hard to find in alot of brands. I Would appreciate recommendations on brand/make/model somthing around $ 1000 give or take few hundred.

Thanks

Have you looked into a browning X bolt? I just picked one up in a 22-250 and it is a super smooth rifle, with an awesome trigger... not sure they have the caliber you are looking for though...

I have not yet I have one in a 270 I will look into them it's great gun, I kinda goffy i like getting different gun having different calibers make/models etc.

it appears the x bolt comes in a .338 win mag.... and a .300 win mag, but not a .300 win short mag... i'm not up on these sizes of calibers much, actually just picked up a old 1965 model 70 in a 300 win mag from a friend tonight to try to tune a load up for... kind of excited to get to know this cartridge again... I to like to change it up once in a while... just sold a .243 to go to a 22-250 just basically to try something new for my predator rifle... I love this x bolt though I highly doubt it will ever leave my ownership... and I will own another one or more in a large caliber some day...

It's great gun I just wanted to see if find somthing g different out there but may just go with another x-bolt. I'd like get Weatherby but not sure i want spend additional $600 on one.

Savage has both those calibers. I have a synthetic stocked model 11 in 300wsm and a walnut stocked model 14 in 308win. both are excellent shooters.
