[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2838155, member: 126985"] The 300 RUM is fine but I'd keep a 26" barrel with a 8 twist. I run 250 Atips at 2985 average fps. I milled the action back on the rear bridge. Opened the bottom up for 4.020" max COAL mag box, and milled the bolt stop, on a Rem 700 stainless action. It's easy with a good milling machine, indicate the orginial lines, and it looks factory, but ya now have 4.00" cartridges that can feed from the box. Put a good brake on it and it's easy to shoot from the prone. It weights about 8.75 lbs with everything but the scope and it has a fluted barrel. Lookin at close to a 10 lb rifle with good scope. Magnums loose speed with short barrels. Carbon fiber barrels and stocks or skinny SS barrels will reduce weight. Then when ya get it light it kicks alot more. [/QUOTE]
