[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2332213, member: 64108"] My Edge is a Lone Peak Razor .338, Manners EH1 Hells Canyon 8 twist 29" carbon barrel with a Beast 2 five port brake and was fairly light until I put a 7-35x ATACR and 1 piece mount on it but big braked rifles can destroy scopes and rattle the mounts loose. I run the single feed 275 CEB Lazer at 3,035 fps and it is a tack driver out to 1,450 yards. I let a guy shooting a .243 win shoot it and he said it kicked the same as his Savage Axis, he had never shot past 400 yards and was amazed he had a hit at 1,450 yards. Ten pounds was my target weight for the gun but I decided to go with the NF and a one piece mount after having scope and mount issues on braked .338's. If you didn't see the thread "Light rifles, big cartridges, and scope mounts - learned my lesson, now it's time to pass it on" it may be worth a read.
