Did you post more details somewhere? Seems like an interesting read!

I picked up my 338 RUM last year. Best rifle decision I ever made.

Start at 70 grains and work your way up to pressure. https://www.nosler.com/28-nosler

Stock design has a significant impact on felt recoil. Now if you shot the two different 280ai loads out of the same gun and the lighter still felt like more recoil, I would say that you are noticing the higher impulse. I think there are other threads on this. That is the case in my 338 RUM...

My question is why did you accept it from your FFL if you didn't like it? Why not send it back?

Update. Everything has gone extremely smooth except my front action screw is a tad to long. Cannot open / close bolt when all the way torqued. Next steps are taking care of that, getting muzzle brake and installing my scope.

I think the whole point of buying a BR4 is so that you don't need to bring a kestrel. It has all of its own on board sensors. If you plan to use a kestrel you can save quite a bit of money and buy a cheaper range finder that connects to it without any onboard sensors.

Pretty sure it is their own in house one from the podcasts I listen to. Though I haven't even tested mine out yet to compare to my AB calculator in my sig2400abs

I carried the Zeiss RF with me last season, it was a solid combo. However I ended up sticking with 12x Pures and handheld RF

I have killed half a dozen cow's with a 308 using barnes 150's, 165's, and 168's out to 400y. They all killed well...and I would not hesitate in using a 270 with 130 ttsx if that is what I had. Answer has already been said 4 times but I'll add another. It doesn't matter as long as you can...

Thank you everyone for your replies! Ordered tools this morning! Now I may need to order a second action wrench for my tikka. Lol

I decided to go down a rabbit hole in the beginning of last year to purchase all my own parts to build my a light weight hunting rifle. Now that I am at the point of buying tools to assembly, I am getting cold feet and wondering if I should just sent off to LRI. - Defiance Anti LA Mag - Proof...

I got into LRH because i wanted to get more accurate at close range on game. 30k later I have gotten much better LOL

Yeah I really like the auto brightness on the 2400abs, but I think the 10x magnification will push the BR4 over the edge. Looking forward to testing both out. I sold off my Zeiss RF 10x42's today, so I am all in on the NL Pure 12x and hand held rf.
