Reviving an old thread. I read all the pages. I got most calibers covered. I don't shoot anywhere as far as you guys. My questions are:
-Build one for elk out to 700 yds? Will work fine for that
-How's the recoil on a 10-12 lb rifle braked? Not bad at all with a good brake; 243 to .308 range
-I was thinking of trying a lighter option from hammer in the 250-270 gr range. Will work great
-Would I be better served with a 338 Rum? 6 of 1, half dozen of the other- unless you plan on dangerous game.
-is a 23-24" barrel to short? No
Have a new tenacity LA, a McMillan A3 adjustable. Maybe a Sendero profile and 5 port brake. It won't get shot much. Biggest concern is recoil. I have a bad back and recoil can be painful.
