[QUOTE="Ftothfadd, post: 1906654, member: 83730"] Everyone, I would like have a 338 built for hunting. I already have a 338 WM (Sako 85 Kodiak) and I am looking for something a little more potent and also lighter weight. Here are my wants -and these are by no means needs ;-), I would like to have factory ammo available, I would like to have a long range capable gun (I should say 800m) even though I am certainly not ;-). I would like to have the bare rifle to be around 6.5 - 7 pounds. I likely will want to shoot it suppressed. I really like the looks of carbon wrapped barrels. As for caliber I think 338 norma looks very attractive to me, but the requirement for a larger action accommodating the bigger case head is a concern. I would like to keep the build under 3K. Please let your opinions/suggestions flow. The rifle is intended as an all around hunting rifle, it has to climb mountains with me... Thoughts on caliber? Where would you have it built? wold you go Carbon Wrapped? Any and all comments are welcome. The availability of hunting ammo is key, sadly I have zero time for handloading while understanding it being a great disadvantage. Thank you for your help! [/QUOTE]
