[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1562653, member: 40749"] I built a 338 Norma, 24in barrel (magnum profile) on a Rem700 action and an ultralight CF stock. 8lb 5oz with a Leupold VX5 3-15 on it. Terminator T2 muzzle brake and a limbsaver knocks felt recoil back to 30/06 levels. It you were to moderate I would go 22in barrel, a moderator that is partially over barrel (not just all in front) and Ti or similar for weight control. 338 Norma is easy to source brass for with 4x manufacturers turning out cases, three of them very good quality. With this combination, a 300gn bullet leaving the barrel at 2650fps should be easy to achieve. Whilst walking in, load a stiff bullet for opportunity shots at muzzle to 200, then when you get into a LR position, load the magazine with 300gn Bergers or similar. [/QUOTE]
