[QUOTE="RH300UM, post: 2567731, member: 12469"] Having been down this road I’ll add my experience. Take note it’s my experience. Just 1 guy. I started my long range hunting with a 300 rum. Remington elk rifle that I add parts and had premiere reticle add dots to my scope for yardage holds. That lasted a few years Then wanting to improve I bought a 338 edge. Remington based action. 30 inch Rock Creek barrel. I added a Nightforce scope and proceeded to improve my skills and knowledge base. I took a fair number of animals with it. It still holds my personal best long shot on a deer at 1300+ yards. I used it for about 5 years. Including trips to wyoming. Most of my hunts were horseback orientated then. But a few required hiking. Then I grew to hate packing that damned heavy and brush grabbing thing. That started me on a quest for the perfect hunting rifle 15 years later and countless thousands of dollars spent on builds ive come back to the 338 bore. But in the 338 RBH (338 Norma Mag improved). Pushing a 260 grain pill @3000+fps from a 24 inch carbon wrapped barrel was about as close as I could get to perfect. 10.5 pounds hunt ready. Having used this for 14 hunts now it’s my 338 elk rifle of choice. Just another peckerwood living in the woods!
