[QUOTE="jcvibby, post: 426670, member: 11240"] If you are looking for a round with those kind of ballistics I would say to go with a 7MM round. The 338's are just too big and a sniper would not need that much disabiling power. A 7WSM or something like that will smoke anything you need at most ranges snipers are capable of making consitant hits on anyway. You can shoot the 180 bergers or something like that and have a great BC bullet. The best thing about this scenario is the rifle could be considerably lighter than a 338 variant. Go with a 7mm. I dont have one of these but here is what I would do. 7WSM 180 bergers Stiller Tac 30 Action Seekins WSM DBM Rifle Basix Trigger set at 2.5 pounds Rem sendero contour barrel some sort of ambidextrious thumbhole stock like a Manner T5. All this together with a Long Range scope and you should be at 13-14 pounds. Do it. [/QUOTE]
