[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1909803, member: 102560"] I did a lightweight 338 Norma...yes you will need a brake. If I were to do mine over I would have went with a lighter weight action and a BDL bottom metal to save a few more ounces, but would never have it without a brake...my rifle is crazy accurate specs: Iota kremlin Stiller TAC 338 M5 Hawkins BM Accurate CIP mag Jewell trigger 24 sendero CF proof barrel SAMMI spec Manson reamer Little bastard brake (gen 2) Bushnell 4.5x18 LRHS scope 10 lbs 6oz scoped and loaded with 3 rounds. Little under 11 lbs with a sling. If you want a unbraked option look at a 33 Nosler, I built a 33 Nosler it was extreamly accurate. If I built another--it would have 22 in barrel (would be great with a suppressor), and I would try some of the lighter high BC options now CEB 225 lazerhead, 240 bulldozers ...it would be all you want though--a 340 weatherby I had once was all I wanted...
