[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 471975, member: 505"] Agreed, it is the best factory rifle/cartridge set up out there. I also agree about the 338 finally getting it's due. Elmer Keith introduced me to shooting big 338's long range back in the 70's. Most everybody blasted me for years. One example is the 338-300 RUM on this site called edge quite a bit. When I got the specs in 1998 on the new 300 RUM to be released soon I immediately saw this as the greatest thing out in a long time. Not as a 300 but as a 338 to get a little more power than the 340 weatherby on a standard magnum action. By late 1998 and into 1999 I did quite a few and quite a bit of testing on the 1000 yard range at my shop. I had several in the hands of Colorado elk hunters for the 1999 hunting season and they bragged on it like I had been. It proved to be everything I thought it would be and I hyped it on the internet quite a bit. I was blasted all over the place hyping this 338 as a long range hunting weapon. I come back on the net in the mid 2000's and see it is called about a hundred different names and the greatest thing since sliced bread. Hunters and shooters are very fickle. [/QUOTE]
