[QUOTE="mtbohunter, post: 567223, member: 38631"] Any good gunsmith can true up a 338 and make it a better weapon. Any custom gun maker can build you a 338..it all depends how much you want to spend. The 338Win Mag is usually not considered the right casing to use for long range shooting because you just cannot get the bullet traveling fast enough to keep the trajectory down to make it practical for much over 650yds because its generally going down hill fast at that point. 338RUM is the cheapest brass to buy when considering a long range weapon in 338 caliber. I am building one on a Remington 700 action, new barrel, trued up and new stock for $1,500 range not counting a scope.. Probably a Vortex 6-24 for glass around $800 so for 2,600 you can have a decent long range 338. Like I said its all,, how much do you want to spend. Best shooters 338 edge 338 Lapua 338-378 Weatherby 338 Remington Ultra Mag These are the most popular and the RUM is the cheapest way to get a long range elk thumper. [/QUOTE]
