[QUOTE="Rum Man, post: 2567170, member: 103316"] Almost identical twins really . The 338 Edge was a givin to me to build having a pile of 300 Rum brass at my finger tips .. If your starting fresh it's really just a choice . It's super cool to tell everybody you have a 338 Edge ! It just sounds tough ! Ha ha Ok if this is a Hunter first and some long range shooting . Here would be my thoughts . If your on a budget ; Remington action. 27" 1/9 twist carbon . The Ti-pro titanium self timer brake McMillan Game hunter Edge fill or a Mesa Precision altitude stock , I'm testing a few of them now . Lots of good triggers out there but any of the trigger tech's are great . You could do the wyatt 4" box . Set your goal at 9.5 pounds all in . Or lighter . You will thank me after a long up hill Elk hunt ! Ha ha Here is a 24" 338 Rum I put together last fall for a Elk hunt with my Oldest Daughter. Its 9.5 pounds with a heavy Burris XTR ii 5x 25 scope . It loves the 250 gr bergers @ 2997 ft.per.sec. very close results as the 300 gr berger at 1200 yards . The Elk would never know the difference! Ha ha . The case of the Edge is bigger . So in theory you should get more out of it . I'm not a pro at the case #'s so I'm sure some guys on here could give you better info . I'm just the type to dive in and try things out ! Not a true technical guy ! Lol My Smith always told me ..nothing wrong with the Remington action's Rum Man ! I am testing a Defiance tenacity out here shortly ...holy Smokes it's very Nice and Smooth! One of the Anti -x Defiance action might be on my list for the next 338 build ! 😎 Rum Man [/QUOTE]
