[QUOTE="dxlbaile, post: 1451798, member: 91579"] So, everyone will have opinions on what they think you might enjoy, and I will just throw this out there for you to think about.. I was in your boat wanting something a little bigger that would just put the smack on elk and bigger animals because I already had a 7mm rem mag, 28 Nos, 30 win.. Just for shooting a lot I got a 6.5 saum… I was looking for something in the 338 cal but, didn't want to pay a boat load for brass and the works.. I also didn't want to get my shoulder kicked off, and wanted something that was packable for hunting.. I Ran on to a 33 Nosler that Dallas Lane Built and it really scratched that itch for me.. It has a brake on it and doesn't kick harder than a 270. I went middle of the road on big bullets.. I am shooting the 250 elite hunter Berger at 2900 fps.. I have killed animals out to 1100 yards with this gun and it has met all my expectations. It is easy to reload for with a little 4831sc and it fits all the normal reloading tools. It was 7.5 lbs bare rifle and with a nightforce atacar 5x25x56 it is right around 10.. very packable and it has all the punch I need for anything.. Is it a 338 LM? NO... it is not, but it has its punch and velocity is great for me. It has a little freebore on it so you can seat the Berger's how you like. I am not saying this is the gun for everyone but it definitely filled my 338 itch without kicking my arm off and it can be hunted.. and packed.. You might give one a look... [/QUOTE]
