[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 170472, member: 10"] This is about my idea of teh perfect 338 AM hunting rifle. Enough weight for rock solid shooting to any range you can get the bullet to remain supersonic to but still portable to some degree. There are alot of conventional varmint rifles that do not weight much less then this big girl. I will also back up the quality of the teflon coating by Shawn. If someone wants a rifle coated, I would strongly recommend his services. There is only a couple things I farm out on my customers rifles and the reason I do so is because the guys I have do these services are about as good as you will find ANYWARE. Shawns coatings are worldclass. SOme of you may notice and wonder why the rifle has 4 rings. Well, to be blunt, the muzzle brake requires it!!! Two rings can not support the recoil forces and then also control the extreme deceleration forces generated by the brake. As such, two rings are positioned to control recoil energy and two are positioned to support the scope during the extreme deceleration forces generated by the brake. If you read the story I posted about our pronghorn hunt this year, you already know this. Just for everyones information, I am working on a new barrel contour that will drop rifle weight another 1.5 lbs while still offering what should be very good consistancy down range. I also just got in one of the new Leupold 8.5-25x 50mm Mk 4 FFP scopes. While I will not say they are the equal to the NF scopes, they offer a great value for a bit less money and 10 oz lighter compared to the NXS. basically allowing you to play with the mid 15 lb range with a scoped and bipod mounted rifle ready to hunt with. Not to mention ALL STEEL!!! Anyway, unless I will be hunting in Idaho, all of my 338 AMs or 375 AMs from here on will be built exactly like Dons rifle. It is simply my idea of the perfect hunting rifle for the 338 Allen Magnum. Have fun Don, its been a long wait I know and I am sorry for that but I hope it was well worth it!!! Remember take lots of pics and send them to me for the wall!!! LOL Thanks again, Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
