[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1476507, member: 2736"] I needed the same kind of rifle and chose the 338 RCM for a compact 338 cartridge. It is very powerful and fits the need for a light weight pack rifle. My 338 rum weighs 12 pounds, and my 338 Texan weighs 14 pounds. My 338 RUM will push a 250 grain bullet to 2900+ft/sec. My 338 Texan will exceed 3100 ft/sec using a 300 grain bullet My 338 RCM will push a 225 grain to 2800 ft/sec with a 22" barrel. the downside to the 6 pound 338 RCM is recoil and it needs a muzzle brake to tame it. The RCM is built on a model 7 action and is very compact but powerful ( the 200 grain produces almost 3900 ft/lbs of muzzle energy and the 225 grain is right at 3800+ ft/lbs of muzzle energy). plenty for large game. Ammo is available in both bullet weights, and reloading is straight forward. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
