[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 409845, member: 14435"] I have both a 300rum (sendero) and a custom 338 edge AI. The edge is from Alberta Tactical. For 95% of hunting the 300rum gets it done with power to spare. And the 200gr accubond has a BC of .588, and matrix bullets (located in BC) have 30 cal bullets with a BC in the 0.7 range, so going to the edge is not a huge advantage until the range gets very long. The 300rum is about all the kick most can handle without a muzzle break. For most hunting a break is a bit of a liability, you would not want to shoot my edge with no hearing protection, not even once. I have a break similar to a APS painkiller, and the top ports put out enough airflow that it blows your hair back when you touch a round off. Don't get me wrong, if you want strictly a long range boomer and have other rifles, go 338 edge or 338 lapua (rem mlr in lapua is available at several places for roughly 1500 Canadian) then drop the rest of your budget on the best glass you can afford. There are several sources for the 300gr matchking, as well as the 300gr berger VLD. There are several sources for Nightforce optics, as well as Sightron, Schmitt and Bender... The Canadian scene is pretty got for precision rifles, but internet searches seem to lead you to American sites first. If you are looking for a rifle in Canada go on canadiangunnutz there is lots of info there on what is available in Canada. I love this site, and it is full of very knowledgeable guys. The only problem is that I drool at all the stuff that can not be brought into Canada. [/QUOTE]
