[QUOTE="Rum Man, post: 2332524, member: 103316"] All Excellent comments above ! Really no bad choice . I cant remeber all the 338's I have put together/shot . My 2 cents ... the Rum and the Edge both do the same when built the same . I proved that with two 30" carbon builds ..300 gr bergers at 2884 & 2883 ft.per.sec. Most have been with Remington actions . I'm sure a custom action would be nice ! They both just flat shoot when fine tuned . I have put three in the same hole at 100 yards and 3 in a 26 3/4" group at 3027 yards . My heavy Edge was 19.6 pounds , next one was 14.6 then I jumped into the Carbons ! Wow ..down to 10.6 pds. Still with a 30 " barrel . Now I'm shooting a 24" carbon 338 Rum and 250 gr. bergers @ 3000 ft.per.sec. It comes in at 9.8 pounds . Remington Stainless action , trigger tech , McMillan Game Hunter Edge fill, Nightforce 20 moa rail , Nightforce light Rings 34mm , Burris Xtr 5 x 25 x 50 and I'm testing a Ti-3 brake right now . Typically I run the T-3 Termanator . Hopefully I can give some results on this build here in the next few weeks ! Rum Man [/QUOTE]
