[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 220133, member: 4885"] Needing a practice platform that is close ergonomically to my A5 stocked 338AM, I built a Savage based practice rifle. I used a laminate A5 stock from Joel Russo and put a short action Savage 300WSM in it. I also have a 338-300RUM (Edge) barrel that is currently at Shawn Carlock's getting a brake installed. So my light practice rifle is either a 300WSM with 26" barrel, or a 338-300 RUM with a 28" barrel. Both the 338AM and the Savage have 3.5x15x50 NXS with the NP-R1 reticles. The scope sits a bit lower on the Savage and I get a really nice cheekweld against the stock, although I have the saddle adjustable cheekpiece that I will probably install and leave all the way down. On the 338AM, I need the adjustable cheekpiece to get the same line. Here are pictures of both rifles. First the 338AM (18lbs with bipod) [IMG]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u193/AJPeacock_photos/Rightside.jpg[/IMG] Then the practice rifle (this is with the 300WSM barrel on it). Around 12lb's [IMG]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u193/AJPeacock_photos/LaminateA-5300WSM.jpg[/IMG] AJ [/QUOTE]
