[QUOTE="Ace Quackhunter, post: 2368526, member: 112792"] I finished my Savage build in .338 with the 20" barrel this past summer and it tips the scale at 8.2 lbs with scope and sling attached. I have tried the 160 Barnes and they average about 1 MOA and may turn out to be a good deer round though I have not hunted with them as of yet. The Noslers 180 BT and the 200 ST both average just under .05 MOA and I would give the edge to the 200 grain. I did not draw a Elk or Deer tag this year so no game results to report. When Deer season ends I may try it on some South Georgia Hogs and see what happen. Recoil as least to me was not bad, just loud. I was shooting 3 shot groups at 100 yards off the bench for my testing this summer. However I don't want to use in a 30 round benchrest match. A Suppressor or a Brake may help with recoil if it turns out to be difficult to handle. [/QUOTE]
