[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 20814, member: 34"] Brent With a 36" Tapored barrel, and to keep the recoil to that of a 308 you need BOTH weight and a GOOD muzzle brake. How about something like a 22# rifle with a bipod and a large KDF brake. I have a friend who built one on the same case as I shoot (338/416 Rigby IMP) and has his at 22# with a 36" tapored barrel and a Mark 4 Scope. We only use the 300 Gr Sierra MK bullet. The recoil is not bad with the weight and brake combination. You will need both to make it as comfortable as possible when shooting. By the way, he is the same guy who killed the elk at 2890Yds with that rifle. Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
