[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 486815, member: 28348"] I agree with mark, let me also say this, forget the 338 rum, with modern bullets especially the monometals I really don't see a need for the 338 bore at all. the larger bores with heavier bullets used to work great because it meant there was enough lead core to do the job if the bullet failed. these days thats not a problem if you choose the right bullet. I say just build a 7 mag and be done with it. a 7 mag will handle anything that moves in north america. or split the difference and go with a magnum 30 cal. also just buy a custom action that is a remington clone, there are a ton of them out there. a mcmillan stock of your choice and have a good barrel put on. or pimp out a factory gun.
