[QUOTE="Magnumpeanut, post: 255571, member: 14509"] I'd just build off your Remington. It will handle a 338 edge nicely. 338 is a pricey round to shoot. Here is what I would do, not that I know what I'm doing. Get a Mcmillian A5 or a Manners MCS-T4, or a Russoe if you like wood better. Badger Bottom Drop Mag. Custom barrel (Krieger, Shielen) in Varmint contour 1:10 twist to shoot the 300 gr Bergers whenever they release em. A good smith will tell you how ong to make it. Depending on the weight of your stock it is nice to have it cut to wherever to balances properly, especially on a hunting rig. Barrel heavy is fine on benchrest rigs, but its hard to shoot in the real world, I find anyways. Whatever muzzle break that you prefer. Badger Rings and 20 MOA picintiny base. Keep your NF scope of course. Give it all to your buddy the gunsmith and get him to put it together and true the action, bed and pillar the stock and inlet the magazine. Or you can keep it simple and cheap and just buy a new barrel and get the smith to twist it on your action and see how that goes and build up from there.
