[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1001839, member: 7503"] Jay, with proper fit and form a strong 338 with a good brake sending 300 gr bullets is manageable at 12 lbs or a bit over. I have built several and shot them to a mile plus regularly at targets. Another stock you should look at is the manners T2 or maybe even their thumbhole line. I used one of the TH stocks on a build a few weeks ago and liked it well. I feel the thumbhole design makes recoil a bit more manageable and I shoot mine well off hand. What you really are describing here is a Defensive Edge LRKM. I love mine and they could be built to come in close to 14 or 15 lbs and only 40" total length. The design even at this weight is very manageable off hand. More so than a 12 lb long rifle in my opinion after shooting both. They just balance well and fall into place both prone and off hand. But they are $5K I use mine in a pack all the time and love it too. Jeff [/QUOTE]
