[QUOTE="sanjuanfly, post: 482757, member: 31433"] I've given up on having a ultra-light 338, but I think I will stay with the switch barrel. Between my dad and I we have numerous back up rifles (270 weatherby, 30-06, 300 weatherby, 340 weatherby, 308, etc.). The main problem with a two rifle solution for me is I was getting away from the custom gun, which was my first reason for doing the build. So here are my current plans: - 338 RUM and 7 mm RUM (I will buy a couple hundred extra brass in each caliber just in case ;) - barrels will be Pac-Nor 25" #3 contour fluted with a Gentry Quiet muzzle break. I was really trying to stay away from a muzzle break, but lighter kicking rifles are ALWAYS good. - Lone Wolf Monte Carlo...not sure I will pay extra for the 100% carbon or stay with the carbon/kevlar - scope TBD A questions I have: 1) Would these calibers work out of my 7mm Rem Mag 700 long action without modification? 2) Should I give Pac-Nor any special instructions on the barrels? I don't handload right now, but will start when this build is complete. I appreciate everyone's feedback. Thanks, Scott [/QUOTE]
