[QUOTE="bretterath, post: 1261752, member: 32377"] im gonna be building a 338 for elk hunting and don't want it to be a heavy log. I was planning on getting a proof barrel but now thinking a stainless barrel. What is the smallest contour you would go with for a 338? It will be used for long range but not fired more than 3 shots at a time. Im doing a defiance ul action with a McMillian stock, just trying to decide what barrel to go with. im thinking Im gonna do a 338 norma improved. Buddy built one and has the reamer that he will borrow me.I shot his this year and the recoil on it surprised me, didn't seem like very much to me. I dont remember what brake he had on it.I would be putting a 5.5-25 nightforce on it and shooting for a 9.5 lb setup Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
