[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1369567, member: 78569"] Just finished my 338 Norma and broke it in. Defiance Hunter action Krieger #6 @ 26" 4 port Muscle brake McMillian A3 stock with Mag fill and 1" pad PT&G bottom metal with AICS Mag. Jewel trigger Comes in around 10 lbs 5 oz. Adding large optics puts it around 12 lbs. I bet you'll be a tad lighter with the carbon barrel. I'm getting 2750 fps as the sweet spot with H1000, Retumbo, or RE 22 with the 300 grainers. Most of my guns are about 9 or 10 lbs and I can feel the added weight of the 338. I wanted to shoot a whole mag rapidly without POI change, thus the #6 barrel. The break is good. I figure I could go a pound or more lighter before recoil started getting obnoxious. [/QUOTE]
