[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 994997, member: 880"] Then you need to build what I was going to do, 338 Edge, 300RUM necked up too 338 pushes a 300gr. SMK about 100fps faster than a 338 Lapua I have heard of people getting 2950-3000fps. Go get you a Steven M200 in 300WM or 7RM sell everything but the action, order a +20MOA base from Ken Farrell, order 2 30" Douglas 7-W taper 338 barrels from McGowen that way when the first is burnt out you'll have another one that comes close to matching the first (not trying to sound like a smart @$$ I promise just what I was told by some fella's that have them) get with Straight Shot Gunsmithing for a muzzle break (you'll want one) and some dies that I don't know if Nate has or not call Kevin Rayhill for a stock, bolt handle, bolt lift kit, and steel trigger guard, don't tell him your building a 338 Edge! purchase you a SSS trigger start buying mag primers, 300gr SMK's and a mess of brass, get out the credit card and order you a Nightforce NXS 5.5-20x50 and get out there and drop stuff up to around 2500 yards. Yep I wanted this rifle BAD! and was going to build it! I had most of the stuff less the barrel and dies. I finished up my 284 Win and well I just can't see less saying I have one to build it.
