[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1101583, member: 33822"] I recently built just about the exact rifle you're talking about, here's the thread I posted last month. Link: [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f86/finally-finished-my-338-rum-155086/"]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f86/finally-finished-my-338-rum-155086/[/URL] Tough to choose on all the components but I think you're right on track. My barreled action was built by Jim Borden, and for the stock I had to flip a coin to choose between McMillan and Manners. Regarding brass, I don't think the 338 RUM is nearly as hard to find as the 300. In fact I think it's in stock at cabelas right now (Nosler). I couldn't be happier with my RUM. I personally just don't think there's enough difference between the RUM, Edge or Lapua to really matter much especially with a lighter style rifle. Lapua has the best/strongest brass, but I'm getting 10+ shots out of my Nosler RUM brass plus sub 1/4 MOA accuracy. With that kind of performance I really don't care what is stamped on the brass. Pyroducksx3, I'm curious about the specs (weight, barrel length, etc) on your Rbros lapua improved and what bullets/velocities are you shooting? That sounds like one heck of a sweet rifle... I'm sure I could be pretty happy with a rifle like that too. [/QUOTE]
