[QUOTE="Good, post: 498812, member: 18866"] I'm in the boat for a .338 also. My plan was to go light and cheap for a mountain carry/pack rifle that can be used for medium range out to about 700yds shooting the 300g Bergers. Should wind up at around 8-9lbs loaded. I acquired a takeoff Rem XCR barrel chambered in 338RUM from a LRH member. Now I just need to have it screwed on and braked. My thinking is if it will hold MOA at 700yds I'd be extatic. Realistically though, I'd be happy with 10" at 700 as that's about the kill zone of anything I'd shoot at out that far minus the Coues. But, we'll see. It might surprise me and be a hammer from the get go. The "long range" rig will be different though. Probably based on the 408 Chey Tac but in .375 caliber. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
