[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1755414, member: 87243"] First 338 NM I put together was 11.5 lbs scoped, with a Terminator T3 it is very comfortable to shoot sending 300 bergers at 2750 fps. Recoil is less than a 10 lb unbraked .308 I shoot, I can spot hits at 300 yards. Recoil was so mild in fact, that it inspired me to build a 9 lb ready to hunt .338 Norma mag. This one has a slightly more effective MBM Beast 5 port TI brake on it. Haven't shot it yet, but once I do, I'll tell you how it is. If you aren't too recoil shy, I wouldn't be afraid in a 300 NMI to go down to 8ish lbs, but wouldn't try to go below that. Also, your choice in muzzle brake will be a big factor. Put a radial brake on an 8 lb 300 NMI, it will probably hurt. Put a painkiller, terminator, beast, or one of ryan pierces brakes on, and it will likely be manageable. [/QUOTE]
