[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 242725, member: 4885"] I have 2 rifles that fit your requirement. I have a Kirby Allen built 338AM that throws the 300gr .338 Sierra Matchking at around 3300fps. It required a large custom action. The second is a Savage model 12 (large Shank) that I put a 338Edge barrel on (338-300 RUM). It throws the 300gr SMK at nearly 2800 and would certainly break 3000fps with the lighter .338 fodder (250gr and lower). Here are links to the discussion of these rifles (with pictures).
