[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2231137, member: 94154"] I had a 338 Lap, sold it. Missed it and wanted to build another, but only had a Savage magnum action as a donor. Built a 338 Edge instead. To me, they are ballistic twins. I am not planning on going back to the Lap, but will keep it as an Edge when my barrel is toast. Since your RUM action is based on the 404 Jeff with ~ .535 bolt face, I'd build an Edge. Edit to add: CF barrel will save you a few oz. However, with a CF stock, it's easy to get a front heavy rifle if you don't pay attention to your weight distribution. Love my Edge with it's light varmint barrel, but hate carrying it. [/QUOTE]
