[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2409933, member: 8873"] For a max performance ELR hunting rig, I don’t think you can out do the .338 AM in a man portable weapon. Kirby has probably maxed out all useable powder space in the Cheytac case. For ELR target I’d go with the .375 version (AM or Snipetac) as barrel life is gonna be better and so will seeing impacts/splash. All that saying “if” you want to stay with the Cheytac size action. If you wanted more extreme it’s out there with the same action, just more niche (and costly). For a dedicated western LR/ELR big game rifle I planned on carrying distance or up/down terrain, I’d go with a lighter XC build. I say I would because that’s what I did.😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’ve carried these 20+ lb monsters up some steep mountains…and I’ve gotten wiser since then.😂 [/QUOTE]
