This might be a silly idea, but...I've been thinking lately about getting a custom single shot 270 made for me.

I stalk axis deer and mouflon here in Hawaii on really rough lava rock in very hot weather. Its a backpack hunt, packing in several mils and then packing out. Having a break down, light weight single shot seems to be the ticket for my hunting. That way after the kill I can break down the rifle and strap it to my pack frame when I have the long pack out with the meat.

I make do with a bolt 30-06 but making my way back in 90 heat with 50lbs of meat in a packframe while trying to deal with 8lbs of rifle/scope/ammunition/sling etc is getting old.

270 would work well for the ranges and game shot, and also we have very limited ammo section on the outer islands I hunt on and 270 is one of the only availible calibers in store.

My question is what action would you recomend to start with?

Or is my idea silly? Just some thoughts in my head...
