[QUOTE="6.5x300, post: 558378, member: 10713"] With that big scope I don't imagine weight will be much of an issue. At Long range accuracy is going to be key! I shoot my 338 edge a lot better then I do my 300WM at LONG ranges so for me it is the 338 edge. It certainly won't take much load developement as everyone seems to get great results from the time trusted load frequently posted on here. My 338 doesn't have a break but it does have a 30" bull barrel. Recoil doesn't seem to be an issue for me for first 10-20 shots or so. I frequently use it to shoot Rock Chucks just to stay in practice. Of course packing it a long ways would be a concern but I was impressed with the results with the one shot I got at a nice 4-5 elk at 530 yrds. BT [/QUOTE]
