[QUOTE="gunaddict, post: 1940176, member: 24628"] I had 3 ultra mags built identical, 7mm, 300, and 338 with fluted 29 inch light palmas. All right at 12 lbs with no bipod. I have sold the 300 and 388 ultra. And I have the 7 ultra sold after elk season. I had built a new 338 Ultra with a 27 1/2 inch #5 contour, fluted,10 twist. And a 300 Ultra with a 27 1/2 inch #4.5 contour, fluted, 10 twist . Going to order a 7mm 8 twist, 29 inch fluted #4.5 contour barrel to be finished at 27 1/2 inches. All of the barrels are Brux. And HS sporter stocks. They all have Wyatts 4.0 inch boxes in them. My 7 ultra light palma weighs 11 lbs 12.06 ozs. Scoped My new 338 ultra weighs 9 lbs 15.0 ozs. Scoped . My new 300 ultra weighs 9. 11.04 ozs. Scoped. My new 7 ultra should weigh about the same as the new 300 ultra. My Factory 375 Ultra weighs 8 lbs 11.07 ozs for comparison.
