[QUOTE="treillw, post: 1124036, member: 92442"] We usually do a lot of running around in the mountains when we elk hunt. Hiking 10-15 miles a day probably. So I definitely need a gun that is on the lighter end. You guys seem to lean towards custom smiths. Does this include or exclude Gunwerks? Looking at rifles from some of the suggested smiths, they seem to be similarly priced. Are they similar in quality? One last question, delving slightly into the caliber discussion. I intend to put a muzzle brake on the rifle. Does a .300 RUM with a brake kick significantly more than a 7mm rem mag? I shot a .338 rem mag with a brake and I didn't think it was bad. That was standing up - I'm sure I would feel it a little more at least off a bench. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
