[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2371580, member: 110890"] 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. (Brake performance is rather subjective to muzzle pressure. Photo below shows Kirby's PK. Great brake, but I've since swapped for the Terminator for a small gain in performance.) Could always get Kirby Allen to build you a 338 on his Stalker platform. Pretty lightweight. Top quality smithing. Just need patience. ;) [/QUOTE]
