[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1378206, member: 88320"] I have a 338 RUM with a 26" plus 2 " brake sendero (contour 5-6) fluted. Gun weighs about 10-11lbs with a scope. Its a nice carry weight and has enough barrel weight forward to settle in nicely. I shoot the 250gr and recoil is manageable. Shooting the 300 gr recoil is much more noticeable and you start to feel it after a few shoots off the bench. I would not go any lighter than 9-10lbs bare rifle weight. With a Sendero contour my barrel gets very, very hot in 3 shots [/QUOTE]
