[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1907243, member: 87243"] I did a similar .338 Norma build, and will tell you right now you will want a muzzle brake, a supressor MIGHT make it manageable, bit it won't be pleasant. If you can be ok with the idea of a muzzle brake though, they are awesome. You can get a Kelblys action that will go into a 700 footprint stock and has a .750 bolt for the larger cartridge for a decent price. I went with a Manners EH-1, and a 24" spiral fluted #5 Lilja barrel, BDL type set up, and a MBM titanium 5 port Beast brake. I'll link a video showing recoil, it is about like a 10 lb .308 win. Bare rifle weight is 7 lb 2 oz, scoped ready to hunt rifle is 9 lb 3 oz. I personally would be really hesitant to run this rifle supressed, 90 grains of powder under a 300 grain bullet is a lot of whollop on both ends. With the brake though, I have put 25 rounds through it in one sitting at the range with no issues or problems. [MEDIA=youtube]ym7RUXx26Zo[/MEDIA] [ATTACH type="full"]194755[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
