[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 932728, member: 7095"] I used to own a 338 edge. It was a 20lb rifle and I had fun with it, but sold it long time ago. I now have a 20" barrel 243 and a 6.5 saum, 10lbs and 11lbs respectively and I've kinda moved to a mentality of not needing nor wanting the extra horsepower. I shoot at 1k quite a bit and I'm not sure I would want to shoot at an animal that far unless I could do a practice shot. 800 yard shot is no problem but that last 200 yards can cause a lot to go wrong especially in the mountains or an area that you are not familiar with. That being said you don't need a 338 or above to kill game under 1k so I don't have those big guns anymore. That's just me though, but I've come to this conclusion after building numerous rifles over the years and felt like adding that to the discussion. [/QUOTE]
