[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 2924, member: 22"] BountyHunter, FYI: That rifle you mentioned has been sold to a fella on this board already. Smack, Seeing how your looking at a custom action already regardless of caliber I would go with the 338 Lapua Mag or any of it's improved variants at least. At std 338 Lapua is just a little larger than a std 338 RUM based on the cases I've measured. The brass is better and tougher with the Lapua stuff and if you improve it, you end up with a 120+gr of H2O capacity. I shoot the 338 Yogi and it's nothing to sneeze at believe me. But if you do decide to stay with a factory action, then the 338 RUM or RUM Improved will get you a long way down range also in a no time at all. Steve [/QUOTE]
