I tried a lighter 338 but I found I could not shoot it goodI have two Normas one is 14 lbsā¦the other 10 lbsā¦if I would do it again I'd shoot for 9.25 lbs scopedā¦20 in barrel and a BDL style mag
What's your target weight? Maybe I missed it buried in the thread. Build it on a Gunwerks Magnus stock and carbon barrel. The Magnus will handle that size case very well and its recoil. My 7 Allen Mag (338 Lapua Mag Imp parent case) is built on a Magnus stock, Defiance action (by Kirby Allen) and a 26" Bartlein Carbon barrel. It feels very nice - thinking somwhere nigh 11 lbs scoped w/the heavy K525i. Get a lighter scope, and it'd be a dream. Virtually no recoil with the T4 Terminator. I can spot shots at 300 yds, and that's with the bullet going near 3,700 fps. Rifle barely moves.I currently have a 338 lapua, it comes in at 14.4 lbs. Im looking at building a light weight 338 lapua or Improved shooting 300gn bergers. I elk hunt with my current rifle but would like to drop a few pounds with all the hiking we do. Just returned from WY and hiked 32 miles in 5 days. Our group went 5 for 5 on cows.
Anyone have experience with a light weight rifle in these calibers?
Would you go improved or standard 338 lapua?
This last 338 Rum 24" barrel is my lightest so far . I was worried it would be tough to keep steady but at 9.6 all in I'm shooting it with no problem. I think we can get our minds wigged out about the push/kick coming when fired . I'm typically a T-3 Termanator guy but this this new ti -3 titanium has been Amazing so far . I'm going to grab a few more here shortly .I tried a lighter 338 but I found I could not shoot it good
My present one is 12 pounds

The lighter you go the harder it's going to hit
If you want speed and power do what I do I shoot 65-300 or seven Weatherby Mag for elkRanges are 400 to 800 yards. Typically windy too. lol

that's a great looking rifleI had Alex Wheeler build me a sweet set up. Bat HR action, McMillian carbon fiber A3 stock. Weight with scope and bipod is 12.5 lbs.
It's a laser with the Berger 300 grain bullets. 510 yards in November in Wyoming.
