[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1803715, member: 112579"] I built myself a 338 rum with Dave Kiffs bore rider throat. 3125 with a 250 accubond out of a 5 weight Schneider 10 twist with Gary,s 5p rifling. The action is defiance CRF rebel. In my mind this is the best but of course everyone has opinions. I am not sure what your intent is with the sierra but I do not like target bullets for hunting. My barrel is 26 inches. What I like about the rum is it will still go in a 700 footprint action and a 1 1/16 barrel tenon will hold it. People put lapua on 1 1/16 actions but not this kid. And the rum actually has more boiler room than the lapua. The edge is more but is it worth it? I guess in some eyes. And a rem 700 is like a small block chevy for parts. If you want it somebody makes it. Now bullets. The accubond will work for long range but in close they go inside out and lose too much. I see hammer has a good selection. This rifle weighs 9 pounds bare with no scope. Not much fun on the bench but when hunting you never feel it. Screw a brake on for tactical or bench. Put it in your pocket for hunting. [/QUOTE]
