Then the 8 would fill that niche!
Any of the options listed for it would do you well. Comes down to the action length and how much you are willing to do on the rabbit hole really. If it's the child of the H&H the magnum is the way to go, if it's the 7 rem mag, the 8-06, if you want to go wildcat....sky is the limit. Barrel is needed no matter what, so it will come down to whether or not you do a bolt face and just how much you want to get into with the loading efforts. The 35's are another forgot niche as well. Lots to think about. |

D, I have a 8mm Mag. It is a thumper, brass is hard to find and very expensive. I don't shoot it much. It is basically a 300Wby necked up, without the Wby radius of course. The 8mag and 300Wby are the 2 most powerful rifles I have left, the RUMs I got rid of. If you want something different and powerful enough for anything in North America, and most of Africa, the 8Mag is for you. When it came out in the late 70s it was far ahead of it's time. The bullets were not designed for the velocity they were being pushed to in the Mag. Basically they were using bullets designed for 8mm Mauser velocity (2500+/-) and pushing them to 2900+ and they were less than spectacular on bigger animals. Nowadays this is not an issue with all the bullet choices available.

I really don't factor in the cost of brass, just the availability. How many do you need? They last a long time for a hunting rifle. The 8mag is an awesome round, but when it comes down to brass tacks, there are several more common rounds that can do the same thing...but it maxes out the cool factor!
