[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 20769, member: 34"] David Yes, my rifle is 67# and NOT portable however, I have a friend at Williamsport that has the same set up (338/416 IMP) with a 36" tapored barrel that weighs 22#. It also has a BIG muzzle brake and that rifle killed their elk 3 yrs ago at 2890 yds from a bi-pod attached to the rifle and with three witnesses from the Williamsport club. I question GOOD bullet availability for anything bigger then the 338 Cal. at this time. We are accustomed to high BC bullets in a Match type and boat tail design. If the new bullet had the features that we want, I also would be looking into it but, with a real long barrel to utilize the potential of the powder, larger diameter and heavier weight bullet. Until such time comes, I am well pleased with what I have seen my 338/416 Imp do on game out to 2100 yds. Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
