[QUOTE="Barkbuster20, post: 2059720, member: 116205"] The main reason I want to add a specific rifle for. The task is that I dont wanna weigh down my current 338 with a heavy bulky scope -- and a heavier stock more suitable for extended shooting sessions. -- I'm sure thats not required but I'm definitely not gonna have fun shooting more than 10-15 250 grain bullets in a session with my rifles current configuration. The best accuracy I get consistently out of it is 3/4 inch 100 yard groups. Buying a new rifle would maybe be more expensive or the same cost of building one off of an action I already own - but I'm taking a 6-700 rifle and putting 900-1000 into it and turning it into an 800 dollar rifle (not a big deal because I do t plan on selling it) but buying a separate rifle gives me more guns - iv read good things about bergaras and hawkeye LRT but I'm sure I could have something put together that is better for the same or less.. I do think I may just stick with the 338 wm in regards to cartridge. I have a lot of really good brass for that already and it should have plenty of range. I appreciate all the advice so far! Merry Christmas [/QUOTE]
