[QUOTE="CApighunter, post: 2017578, member: 116090"] Hey guys, long time lurker, new member here. I’m planning on building a light-ish weight 338 for a designated elk gun. Basically want to keep the weight around 9 pounds with a ~30 oz scope. Don’t want a barrel longer than 26 plus a brake and not interested in a Norma/Lapua. Planning to shoot 250-270gr bullets(bergers/accubonds/hammers) inside of 750 yards on game. Here’s my plan: Defiance AnTi action 3.825 Wyatt’s box/BDL 26 inch Bartlien 3B or other brand #5 fluted Hawkins 2 port brake B&C sporter stock(temporary until I get a McMillan Rem Hunter) Mid power scope in the 30 oz ballpark I’m leaning towards the 338 RUM with a +p throat from DE, but open to other suggestions. Thoughts, experiences, suggestions? [/QUOTE]
