[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 1476460, member: 10306"] Hi all. I am going to be buying another rifle soon. I would like something in a backpacking weight. I have a bit of a fondness for .338 cal rifles, which don't really go hand in hand with light or short. I already have a .338 RUM that is 9.5 lbs and a 18 lbs Lapua, with a 26"+brake and a 28" +brake barrel. I want something a little handier and lighter for backpacking. I have a pretty stiff set of requirements though. -60* bolt throw -detachable mag -factory ammo available -under 7lbs I would love to build a 24" Lapua, which I think would be a great trade off in ballistics for 2" of barrel, but Weatherby doesn't have a detachable mag for the Mark V and Sako 75 and 85's are to small for the round. Does anyone have any ideas? The obvious answer is to go to a 300WSM or .338WIN in a tikka or Sako and forget the rest. I just love fast .338's Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
