[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 2527244, member: 4768"] I have two 338 LAI's, one is my primary hunting rifle. I took on a similar project to yours about a year ago. I decided on a 375 LAI. I had it throated very long to accommodate 350 gr. Cutting Edge lazers. Due to the OAL the lazers will not be mag friendly- but should generate 2900 fps. Rifle will weigh right at 11.0 to 11.5 lbs with scope (Leupold MK5) and bipod (Neopod) included The plan is to single feed the lazers for long range work and then shoot something like a 300 gr. Barnes TSX from the mag for sub 3 or 400 yard stuff. Will run the Barnes at the same velocity as the Lazers and hope for same-ish impact at 100 yards (we will see) I had Short Action Customs build the rifle, it is all but complete. I should get my fingerprints on it within a few weeks. I already have dies, bullets, powder and primers. I am really looking forward to what I argue will be one of the most versital rifles possible. I already have a trip to Africa booked for September of 2023. [/QUOTE]
