[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 556862, member: 30671"] You don't say how your going to use it, so I'll generalize about cartridge choice. 338 RUM has been tough finding brass for a while. Likely to get tougher. The 338-378 is enough more to make it interesting, but for me I' prefer a bit more barrel length, more weight, and I'd have a conversation with myself about barrel life, and did I really need the horsepower. Almost any of the 300 magnums will get it done for you. Consider the 300 RUM and bullets heavier than 200 grains. The Remington action I've been there done that and question why spend that much money bringing it up to speed. Buy what you need upfront, saves time. Where you're from, how you're going to use it, who's going to do the work will all play a part. Have a plan for good optics, good rings and base. Decide early so you can factor the weight into your plan. Lots of folks here on the sponsors list, whose sites you really should look at for a complete package. No expert just making sure you knew somebody heard you. [/QUOTE]
