[QUOTE="AKdan, post: 1136831, member: 83800"] I love my 338 Lapua. I use mine mostly for hunting and a lot of practice hunting. I built one off a Remington 700 action with a PTG bolt. It weighs about 7.4 lbs bare but is still pleasurable to shoot with a break. i went with a Lapua because I had lots of brass and dies from a previous rifle. I figured I would save $500 and I had lots of rem 700 parts so it seemed like a good fit.....right up till I tried to put 3 in the magazine....I am using a bdl magazine(wyatts extended) and I can only squeeze in two. I am sure I could fab up a new mag box to fit more, just takes some time. If you are running a detachable mag....they both are way too much fun to shoot. Seems like Lapua brass is more available at the moment. If you are going lighter weight and running a std mag, i would lean toward an edge and not have to touch the action to get it to feed. [/QUOTE]
