I have a donated to me rem 700 long action. I'd like to build a 338 federal with a 16" barrel to take when I'm in the field (surveying) for alligators, Mtn lions and such. I also have a used B&C mountain lightweight stock (1lb 12 oz) for a 700 LA ADL that I'd like to use. Will the 338 Federal work out alright in the long action? Is there a better round out there for what I need (lightest weight, 16" barrel) using the long action? I am new to the rifle scene and need help with this.
Also have a donated Bushnell elite 2-7x32 I could mount if I ever decided to start hunting.
Thank you.
