[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 1002628, member: 14"] Jay, We build lightweight 7mm, 300 and 338FXs (full length Lapua imps) on trued Rem titanium actions with 28" barrels and carbon fiber stocks that come in under 8lb all up including the new March 3-24x52mm scope (23oz). With one of our angled port 7000 series alloy brakes, the 338 version is very shootable even off the bench with the 300gn at just under 3000fps. But don't try and shoot them without the brake with that load though, that's not nice! We do a spook and shoot load with a 185gn TTSX at 3100fps for using without the brake, and that is perfectly manageable for a stalking load that will be shot mostly standing up when you don't have time to use hearing protection. We find the lightweight long range guns get far more use out hunting than the heavyweights!:) Greg [URL="http://s65.photobucket.com/user/GregDuley/media/338%20Thor/26inchNo33portNZHbrakeNZHedgestock.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0"][/URL][URL="http://s65.photobucket.com/user/GregDuley/media/338%20Thor/26inchNo33portNZHbrakeNZHedgestock.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h222/GregDuley/338%20Thor/26inchNo33portNZHbrakeNZHedgestock.jpg[/IMG][/URL] (This one has a 42mm objective March on it, but you get the idea) [/QUOTE]
