I made a 338Fed from a Rem600. It was a 308. I prefer something that is not majnstream. My 338F shoots 200gr Hornady SPs at 2600 from a 21" barrel. It is 6.5 pounds all up and ready to go with a McM Mountain Rifle swirly. It does not kick any more than the 308. Everybody that has ever borrowed it, wants to buy it. I am not selling it!
