last night I found a place that had 4 Surgeon 1086's in stock so I thought I would pick one up and got an email this morning that it's shipping today.

Now what to do with it? I'm consolidating calibers to .284 and .30, so in that vein I'm thinking 7 RSAUM, 7 WSM, or .300 Win Mag (already have a 7mm RM). I reload so factory ammo isn't critical.

What do you guys think? Did I miss an alternative? No comps, just paper punching / steel, and hunting AZ elk, deer, and pronghorn.
