[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 276386, member: 10306"] Hey guys, its time for a new baby. Well, im kind of replacing my old baby. I've just sold my .340 wby and 300 rum (that I never shot, just found a good deal on when i happend to have a little extra cash). replaced the 300 with a .243win + cash (needed somthing for coyotes) and now I need something for the big stuff (moose, elk, grizz, ect.). I loved my .340 for its knockdown power, but it had some qualities that I just didnt like (blueing was rusting, high price of brass, liked light bullets just to name a few). I'm dead set on a .338 cal. just like them... alot. so what I was thinking was a rem 700 XCR in .338 rum. my smith has an edge reamer, so i was thinking that i would do that right away (so I dont have to buy 2 sets of dies). add a break and a recoil pad and call her bob (for now). I know that a custom would be better but i dont have the cash for that, so is this a good option? is there a better route for the same price in a .338 testosterone mag? whatever i get will be topped with 4.5-14 Mark IV (got a smokin deal on it). By the way, I live in Canada where everything is more expensive. Thanks fellas and God bless!!! [/QUOTE]
