[QUOTE="dkhunt14, post: 1043118, member: 14053"] It takes a really long stock to balance out that long of barrel. It also takes a stiff action to hang the barrel on. It also has to be a Heavy contour to handle the length and heat. We shoot 36 inch 1.450 diameter barrels but have them in a barrel block to hold the barrel and action and stiffen them up. My buddy has a 338-378 in this configuration and has shot H50BMG and Re33 really well with the 300 Berger. It is not the speed but accuracy that kills. If you go to the Longrange Hunting and Shooting forum and look at the thread Pictures of my hunting rig you will see Pictures of my gun. Matt [/QUOTE]
