For the Blazer?
I have thought for a long time that a magnum pseudo-scout [300, 338, 375H&H, or 416 Rem] with stripper clip loading would be awesome.

I don't think it would be that hard to make 3 round stripper clips for the magnum cartridges.

Before I bought my Steyr Scout I considered getting a Pseudo Scout in 375-284 based on a '98 Mauser. Figured I could get at least four 375-284 rounds on a regular stripper clip.

I like your choices of bullets for the 338. Though I would probably go with Swifts and Speer AGS-Solids for the 416.

Seyfried mentions that he had trouble with the Barnes Solids in 416 not having enough stability in the target because of their longer than standard length. He went to a faster rifling twist till the Trophy Bonded solids cam out.
