[QUOTE="7mmTikkaShooter, post: 2640325, member: 92915"] Looking for input on a new rifle build. For several years I’ve been looking into designing a custom chambering utilizing some of the design aspects of many newer chamberings. I’m pretty close with the reamer print I’m going to send in which is more or less an 338 Lapua AI with a few specific angles and measurements. I won’t get into the weeds on that as it would be a whole other discussion. Basically I’m hoping to be in the 3000fps range on a stable load with 300 grainers. What components would you guys look for in a relatively light weight hunting rig that’s still shootable? What weight? 15 pounds too light or heavy? What’s the most efficient brake? Been interested in Terminator brakes. What length and contour barrel? I’m thinking a Proof bull at 26”. Stock? No wrong answers here. Just want to hear what others have done and liked or would do. If you’ve done something similar what would you do different or avoid if you did it again? Appreciate the thoughts. [/QUOTE]
