[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2743738, member: 21446"] 338 Terminator if it was me especially since your building from scratch. Il take 3050 vs 2850-2900 with the 300gr bergers on a “landing” rifle. I see no down side of going bigger. Ive owned some big 338s. A 300gr Berger going past 3000fps is impressive. I would just make sure the scoped rifle finishes at 16lbs or heavier preferably. And while the manners lrh stock is awesome for a light weight LR build. I would go with a heavier stock to get a little more weight in the rear since you will be using a 28” heavy Palma contour. I had a 29” heavy Palma 338 edge Imp running 300gr at 2980fps and I liked shooting the rifle much better when I had a significant amount of lead put in the butt of the stock, made it easier to spot shots to. That rifle was 15.8lbs with scope and bipod, I wouldn’t go any lighter for sure. [/QUOTE]
