My mission to find the best short barreled big 338!!!

What was your take on that old game warden max? Obviously you can build whatever you want so kinda surprised you used this for a personal build? Was it just one you needed to use up or ya like it? Just curious. I actually built 2 new rifles this year on them. A 300 nmi and a 338 lapua imp but haven't shot them yet.

Also have you shot that 230 eldx much in your 338's? Been pretty easy to tune and work well on game? I built a 338 prc around the 250 bergers when they were everywhere and since they seemed so over stocked I didn't worry about buying a bunch like I normally do for everything… now they seem to have disappeared so looking at other options.

Thanks

I like the game warden max quite a lot.

But my favorite two stocks on the entire planet are My Nimrod and the PH.

Here's a couple.
The top 20" 338 Edge is mine and is the stone cold hammer of THOR!
The second one is a 22" 338 Norma that turned out amazing!

Sounds good. I really like the look of that PH and your nimrod. I wouldn't mind having the nimrod on my heavy 338 lapua imp and the ph would be a good fit for the 300 nmi. But i will run the max's for awhile and see. That top one, your edge. You've been running the 230 eldx's? Thanks for the reply and info! Much appreciated

Thanks for sharing! Some sharp looking rigs .

Between the Edge, RUM, Norma, Norma Improved, and more big 338's... which one is your personal favorite now in a short barrel suppressed setup?

I wish i could run my 338 Reaper on a 22" barrel suppressed but I'm not willing to trash a can over it.. the edge and me get along pretty **** well, In this 20" set up its cruising along at just under 3100 fps
