[QUOTE="Rum Man, post: 1991144, member: 103316"] Well I'm going to injoy this thread ! Ha ha Tim I have a few questions for you but first you answered your own question already when I read I have a 300 Rum donor action ! Now you just need to flip a coin or better yet when your buddy asks you ...what 338 do you have ? What is going to make you happy everytime you say it . Edge or Rum . I dont want to sound stupid or crazy about this . I have lots of trigger time with both the 338 Edge and the 338 Rum . Absolutely no time with the Lapua or the Norma and I'm sure I wont . If speed and velocity is your goal then head to the 33XC. So in putting together 6 338's I have found that the Edge and the Rum are so close it's a toss up . Here is a few questions: What are your goals with this Rifle ? Bench shooting ? Packing in the Mountains? Carbon barrel ? Super light weight build ? What bullet are you leaning to ? I have did them all , light weight Edge and Rum came out finnished in the same way. Both at 10.6 pounds complete . Both running the 300 gr bergers at 2883 and 2884 ft.per.sec. same build specks . Remington action , 30 " barrel plus brake , timney trigger. Are your goals 1000 yards ? 1500 yrd. 2000 yrd . Or past ? I pushed my heavy 338 Edge from 3 in the same hole at 100 yards to a 26 3/4" 3 shot group at 3027 yards . 1.72 miles . Sorry so long winded here guys ! I wish you were close we could look at my countless hrs of data in my book . No I'm not a Pro or even trained in anyway , just hands on experience. So all that said it would determine what I had or could find , brass and dies , components wise . 338 Rum or 338 Edge no bad choice here ! I took my Last fall Bull Elk at 1244 yrds with the 338 Edge and 300 gr bergers Eh . It was a Amazing day for me ! Good luck in your choice ! If I can help in anyway give me a shout ! Rum Man [/QUOTE]
