[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 963395, member: 33822"] I will soon have two, both 338's: Currently have: Ultralight Backpacking elk rifle: - Stainless Win M70 short action chambered in 338-300 WSM - PacNor 24" ultralight contour barrel - Bell and Carlson Medalist stock glass bedded - Teflon coat all metal - VX3 4.5-14x50mm w/ Talley Rings - 210 TTSX @ 2850 fps, 1/2 moa - 7.2 lbs - personal range limit of about 600-650 yards for elk with this rifle/load, which at my average 8500 ft. elk hunting elevation has the 210 TTSX at 1980+ fps and 1830+ ft*lbs. Will have the following (~6weeks) as my "new" go-to LR Elk setup: - Borden Timberline Magnum 338 RUM - Hart 27" #4 contour plus CSR 3 port brake - McMillan Game Scout Edge fill stock - Jewel Trigger - Cerakote all metal - Optics: TBD, likely NF NXS 5.5-22x56 w/ Seekins Rings - 250 Berger Hybrid - ~3000 fps ?? - 11# estimated weight fully outfitted - personal range limit for elk: Gonna be fun practicing to figure this one out! - 250 Berger carries 1650 fps and 1500 ft*lbs out to 1500 yards, so I would say that is the limit of the bullet/load. Rifle/Shooter TBD. - Also would like to play around with the Barnes 265 and 285 LRX [/QUOTE]
