[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 135723, member: 2011"] I shoot a 338 RUM REM 700 Left Hand action that started life as as 338 WIN Mag. I replaced the bbl w/a factory take off sporter weight 338 RUM replaced the recoil lug with a Tubbs. Rifle is very good for walk & stalk and long range shooting from a "set up". Shoot 225s and 250s OK and 300gr SMKs really great. I would highly recommend a brake. And don't add weight if a brake will be used. The extra weight actually reduces the affect of the brake. My rifle weighs right at 10 pounds and w/a good limbsaver recoil pad is good for shooting all afternoon. I can usually spot my hits. I drastically modified the BDL stock into a more or less target/tactical configuration, filled the magazine area w/filler and glued a mag block into the receiver for more stiffness and single shot capability. Its a keeper and I don't have to mess with special cases etc. Its more or less load and shoot. BTW the 300 SMK leaves the muzzle at about 2730 FPS. [/QUOTE]
