[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 668789, member: 10306"] STOP!! do not buy anything but a trigger! You have a very capable cartrige, go shoot it before you make the plunge into a semi-custom! When I bought my first rifle (other than what my father gave me) I went straight to a .338 WBY and then a .338 RUM.Ill tell you this "300 grain bullets aint cheap!". I now how several other rifles and get my fair share of LR trigger time, but for the first three years of my LR shooting endevor I was broke, and trying to buy bullets at more than a buck a pop was making it worse. I live in Canada so its pricier yet, but you can still shoot that 7 Rem alot cheaper than a .338 of any sorts. I shoot a .280 REM also. heres a quick comparison. .338 RUM brass- $68 CAD. bullets/[B]50[/B]- $54. powder- around 95grains. .280 brass - $28 to $40 (for the good stuff). bullets/[B]100-[/B] $38. powder- around 60 grians. If the barrel you have now shoots good or even OK, shoot it till its COOKED! [/QUOTE]
