[QUOTE="Arkansasdad, post: 2231262, member: 76766"] If you wanted you could buy a Weatherby 338-378, I have had four and they will shoot as good as the best custom I have ever had. They are equipped with Kreiger barrels and the Weatherby receiver which is the strongest built. I was at the range with a man who said he wouldn't own a Weatherby but after three Weatherby's tallied higher than his "beat all to end all" and two were in the money he shut up. There were 6 in total Weatherby's at the shoot and all were either straight out of the box or from the Weatherby custom shop. I cannot see building a rifle now when I can go buy one for what the parts will cost me and then I would spend three or four days at the bench spining, aligning, reaming, threading and seating plus cutting the furniture. I can save some money and time and then add that on the glass. I cannot think of a reason not to try one before going to a smith instead of putting 10 in a rifle put 7. I have built rifles for years and can't get close to these for the money. The 338-378 is in the caliber and power range you talk about and it is a proven caliber, try one I think you will like it. You will see a great difference when you get your recipe correct and you can shoot easy 1/2's. Happy shooting. [/QUOTE]
