[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1128303, member: 13632"] I did the metal work on a rifle that is about as light as I'd go for a straight up elk hammer, McMillan Rem stock, Kreiger #5, Stiller tac 300, Jewel trigger with a Nightforce optic chambered in 338 RUM. During load development it ran in the .5 range at 300 yards and will hold that on paper at 1000 yards. Running a 250 Berger just shy of 3000 fps with a 26 inch barrel and it came in as pictured in the 9.5 lb range. I prefer a little heavier but I won't rule out killing an elk well beyond 1000 yards if conditions are correct so I want a gun that will get on the ground a little better.
