[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1866843, member: 1656"] If you're serious about 220s at 3000fps being required, I'd look at the 300 RUM properly configured. I don't get the comments on single feeding. If I can make a 4" Wyatt's box feed a 338 Edge it should feed the 300RUM. Note this DOES require modification of the action by extending the mag feeding window backwards, and modifying the bolt stop to allow the bolt to come back further to pick up the back of the round. As I accomplished both of these modifications with a Dremel and ended up with a rifle that matches my custom F-Class competition gun for accuracy, I don't see why others couldn't do it. What I don't get is the straight 1.25" barrel. Why the need? It doesn't increase your accuracy. My F-Class 284 has that barrel 32", my 338 Edge is Sendero contour 30" with a brake. They shoot the same accuracy. Unless you need a 25 shot string out of the rifle I see absolutely non need for the weight. My F-Class rifle is 22+ LBS and a PIA to move anywhere, my Edge is 14lbs and acceptable for hunting with a lot of walking. [/QUOTE]
