[QUOTE="Conagher, post: 593025, member: 40433"] Hello, I've been shooting and hunting with rifles for most of my life. I figured I'd join this great site that has lots of information and advice on long range hunting and shooting. I'm at a dilemma though. I'm wanting to get into a .338 rifle and I can't decide on which one to get? A good friend of mine built a .338 Edge a long time ago on a Winchester model 70 action. He lengthened out the mag box and he says the rifle feeds great without any issues, and it shoots great as well. I was also looking at the .338 RUM, but brass is really scarce right now for that caliber. If the brass was more readily available, I'd get a .338 RUM again in a heartbeat. I really want a .338 Lapua since my Mother's side of the family is from Finland, but the cost of Lapua brass or ammo is quite high compared to .300 RUM brass for the Edge setup. I want the rifle to be my long range hunting and shooting weapon. I would like to shoot out past 1000 yds with a caliber that is meant for that kind of distance shooting. Any help on my decision would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
