[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1445135, member: 75933"] I'm kinda in the same boat. I recently took delivery of a re-barreled Sako TRG in 300WM with a christensen carbon barrel. It's a very accurate rifle and with all available accessories, it's 10lbs ready to hunt. That's the rifle I'd carry when walking up and down for very long. Then I decided I'd like a nice heavier long range rig like what you're contemplating. I'm having a 338RUM built to be that long range elk hammer. I'll try to run 300's up to 2800 or so. With a couple new brass sources for the RUM, it's definitely a good option. It's a little shorter than the Edge and uses a regular mag bolt face, so no special action to build it on. While the 30's work great, I'll bet the big 338's will work greater. You're over 2000ft/lbs past 1000yds with the 300gr berger or SMK, so why not try a big gun? [/QUOTE]
