[QUOTE="WyoMarine, post: 519142, member: 34211"] IMHO the 338 edge is not vastly better than the RUM's. But it is better. I think the appeal of the 338 edge, to most of us, is the fact that it's a long action. Some one can buy a normal RUM over the counter at almost any sporting goods store and build it into something very close to the power levels of a 338 lapua. Because the brass is cheaper, the edge becomes cheaper to shoot. The price of the rifle is far less as well. (OK, I know you have to buy a new barrel and all the work that goes into that is not cheap, but in the end you have a barrel that is better than factory.) So now you have a 338 that is comparable to a "super magnum". Your question is "why do all this for such a small gain?" Someone with a 338 edge might ask "if you can make it even better why not?" I might be wrong, tho. I could be all about having something your buddies don't have. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
