[QUOTE="bronco, post: 657782, member: 48575"] So I got a hold of Bell and Carlson and I called Stocky's. I have been informed the Alaskan II stock can be inletted to take a barrel up to .750 at the muzzle. So I have re-elected to go with the #5.5 Broughton at 26". I was being impractical looking for skinny barrels in 338 and wanting to take them out to range. If it worked; other people would build them like that too. I have no business re inventing the wheel. It will be light enough to pack all day and heavy enough to shoot some distance. Here is my build plan for your approval: 338 RUM 700 SS action (blueprinted) B&C Alaskan II 15"LOP Wyatt's mag box MBE-3 #5.5 Broughton 5C Barrel .750 at 26" SS Skim bedded with a full aluminium block DE .750 muzzle brake Jewell Trigger HVR 2.75 -3lbs Glass and mounting TBD... I own a lot of Zeiss but I am leaning toward the NF NXS 5.5-22x50 (or 56) with zerostop (MOAR? or NPR1?) I will be working with R Bros Rifles for the build Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
