[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 140408, member: 4785"] Hi i would look at 338's and either a 338 Edge or 338 Allen MAg. For both i would use a Joel Russo A%Laminated Stock. for the barrel i would get a LAwton 30" 1 in 10 twist cut rifled barrel. for the action i would get a LAwton 7500 series for the 338 Edge and if you wanted to go with a 338 Allen Mag the Lawton 1000 is the way to go. either is available as a repeater so that is covered. As for muzzle breaks i make an awsome type i am sending one to Kirby for his 50 Allen Express and one to Shawn for a large 30 cal on Monday or tuesday. As for the calibres the 338 Edge is a lighter moe portable rifle but the 338 Allen can also be built sub 16lb. The 338 Allen MAg is the roles royce of 338's it is just awsome to reach out to the next Zip Code where the 338 Edge limits you to about 1800 yards still not to shabby. The main thing is the distances you wish to shoot. If you are happy under 1500 yards the 338 Edge is the way to go and the barrel and handloading is also a lot cheeper for it. But if you want the most you can get the 338 Allen Mag is the one it will get you past 2000 yards and have velocity to spare but their is no free lunch the barrel will last about half the edge i believe and the loading will also be about twice aswell. But the barrel is a consumable and if you wand the best you can not run it with cheep accesories. The 338 Edge is also one of the easiest cartriges to load for the Allen MAg is a bit more fussy so make your mind up on either and you can not go wrong also contact Shawn Carlock and Kirby Allen and ask them some questions and let them help you with your choices.
