[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 400492, member: 6641"] I have a 338/378 and I am happy with it. It has a shilen barrel and shorter throated than factory but no changes to the case shape. It will shoot under 1/2" with several bullets. It's on a rem action so I have no experience with the weatherby. I have a 338 rum and a 338/408 in the works. If you are looking for a single all around gun the lapua or one of the improved lapua designs would be very hard to beat. Having the best off the shelf readily available brass is a great advantage. Like it was mentioned before defining exactly what you want is the first thing to get solidified. I had the 338/378 first and while it's fun to shoot with a 30" heavy barrel it's not very portable and can't really be shot without any setup time. That was the reason to then get a 338 rum. Its the light portable sporter gun that is for shorter range but can be shot off hand or "setup" for a little longer shot. The 338/408 is going to be for over 1K experimentation and with a 36" barrel it I don't see it getting very far from the truck. There is just a trade off for every choice. [/QUOTE]
