[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 959508, member: 33822"] I am actually going with a 27" barrel. What you said is my exact goal for the rifle... the ultimate elk rifle that is still portable. Here's the specs of my 338 RUM build: Borden Timberline Action w/ Wyatt well Hart 27" #4 contour w/ muzzle brake Jewell Trigger McMillan A3 Game Scout w/ Edge fill Have not settled on a scope yet. I love the NF ATACR on my 300 win mag, but it sure is heavy... If anybody has other scope recommendations I'm all ears. Even considering something like the new Leupold VX6 with the custom shop TS-32X1 MOA reticle, and not even using Turrets... but not sure about that yet. Overall I think this rifle will be just a bit light to fully utilize the potential of the cartridge. But I am primarily a backpack elk hunter, so weight is a huge factor for me. What the gun will be is an absolute elk hammer out to whatever distance I am able to shoot it accurately in the field... which I am confident will still be a very long ways off. [/QUOTE]
