Please do not kill me for asking a noob question... just want to get some pointers.
A little background... I recently became very interested in long range shooting. Shot my 300 prc (TL3 action) to a little more than a mile several times... but I am sure most of you will understand, been looking for the next step up.
My buddy is shooting a 33xc (AXMC) and I am thinking it is a good cartridge to get out to maybe 3k yards, so I am looking seriously at this cartridge.
My question is, are there any actions that one recommends for the 33xc? Will these actions (that can handle 33xc) fit in a regular Remington 700 long action chassis? If they do not fit in a rem700 long action chassis, how would one look up the chassis for such an action (is there a standard name for this footprint)?
Follow up question... I am sure once I get a 33xc, I might be looking at the next step up just to go further... Will it be something like a 375ct/408ct/416 barrett? Are there any actions out there that can be used for both 33xc and 375/408/416 (if I want to future proof my purchase)?
I don't mind if it is a single feed (as I think single feed might be better for ELR), and weight is really not a concern.
Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated!
