[QUOTE="jasonprox700, post: 710817, member: 7328"] I've been kicking around the idea of building another hunting rifle. I already have a .338 WM for elk and moose, but I really want a fast .30 for both whitetail and mulies. I thought about the tried and trued .300 WM, but I wanted something different. The .300 RUM has always impressed me and I have a couple of friends with the RUM, and neither reloads, so basically free brass! The thing I'd also like to do different is go with a 24" barrel over the standard 26". After carrying the .338 around for a week in the mountains with its 24" barrel, I found it to be pretty comfortable in comparison to the 26" on my dad's 7mm. I know I'll probably loose up to 100 fps by losing the 2" commonly found on most magnums, but I can live with it. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
