[QUOTE="06mauser, post: 431774, member: 11244"] Thanks guys for your help. I still have alot of decisions to make over the next couple of months to get this build started. I still haven't decided on a cartridge yet but I have a few ideas where I can head. I do think it would be pretty cool to have a 338 that can fling a 300 grain bullet at or over 3000 fps but I also would like to have a rifle that isn't going to be half of my pack weight. Thats why I was looking at rifles at or near 10 lbs without the scope. I am used to that kind of weight hunting. Before I started using my .264 win, I hunted with a custom 06 that weighed 12.5 lbs with the scope. My old gun smith thought that if he built me a barrel that was the size of a ford 9" axel that I couldn't blow it up. Well guys if you have any more ideas or opionions on the direction I should go please let me know. Thanks, 06 [/QUOTE]
