[QUOTE="Iceking02, post: 1566567, member: 15810"] Hey OP, I have a 338-378 Wby converted to .338 Edge. I purchased a Dan Lilja barrel at 30". It was chambered and coated by Matt Cockrell at the recommendation of Dan Lilja himself. It is topped with the Near Alphamount scope base/ring combo. For glass I have the Swaro X5, 5-25x56. I bedded the receiver and mounts myself. It has and will shoot 1-hole groups at 300yds and sub-MOA at 1000yds (3-shots) if you can hold it steady and if your loading is up to the 2nd-degree black belt level. I know that I can still do better but this rifle fulfills almost all of my needs excepting for barrel/brake length. BTW, my velocities are not as high as others with the 300 OTMs (2832fps) but the ES is single digit on most every 5 and 10-shot string.
