[QUOTE="Brent, post: 14099, member: 99"] Holmes' I had a #1 with a Douglas barrel in 378wby and it was a nice shooter. I used the original Ruger base. There was a problem with the base in that whoever built it screwed it up a little. The barrel was a slightly smaller in diameter than the original even though it was a heavy contour, so when the base was screwed down to the barrel it drew the base down just behind the front ring causing the rings to tip tward each other at the top. I had to shim the front under the base about .070" to make up for it. The reason I sold it was to get a rifle for my son for his birthday before hunting season when I was low on cash. He killed a 59" bull moose the second day of season at 200 yds with the 308win. It is now a 500 Nitro 2 3/4 I think. I forgot to ask, why not the 338/378wby using the 300grMK? My brothers is a tack driver. [ 04-28-2002: Message edited by: Brent ] [/QUOTE]
