Browning Auto Rifle, the sporting model available since the 1970s. Was available as I recall in 7mm Magnum, .300 Win Mag and .338 Magnum.

Who believes magnums are over rated, under .40 caliber.

The Hakim comes in 8mm. Other calibers that I do not remember too, perhaps. The FN-49 comes in 7x57mm, 7.65x57mm, 8mm Mauser and 30-06. The SVT 38/40 is chambered in 7.62x54r.

I cannot think of a modern rifle, other than those already shown, in a "bigger" round than .308.

Bigger than .308

These are a bit hard to find, but are around if you look. I picked one up over the summer and I love it, it's a great shooter. And there's still plenty of -06 surplus ammo around to make it somewhat affordable to shoot. Magazines can be had for ~20 bucks each.

.50Beowolf and .338Whisper are available in semiauto.

I read an article a while back about someone rebarreling Garands to .458 win mag. It held 5 rounds to a clip, IIRC. That big enough for you?

Remington 7400's were chambered in the underappreciated .35 Whelen and are still chambered in .30-06.

Dug this up from an old thread:

I looked at, but turned down, a Browning BAR semi in 338 RUM. Gun and scope were $475.

An M1 Garand in .30-06 meets the criteria of "bigger than a .308."
