[QUOTE="Casey Napier, post: 121146, member: 6213"] i just ordered a Rem 700 300RUM, one of the cheap guns from Walmart. I plan on building an Elk rifle to use next season. I already have an HS precision stock, off of a Sendero that I would like to use. I would like to keep the rifle as lite as possible, because I would like to be able to pack it. My first question is what size barrel should I use, I would like to keep it fairly thin, but I do not want it to look funny in the barrel channel of my HS precision? I do plan on fluting it to save a little weight. My next question is should I go with 300 or 338 RUM, and how much weight will going with the 338 save me, being that the bore will be a larger diameter? Thanks RidgeRooster [/QUOTE]
