I'm thinking about putting a 338 win mag into a mcmillan edge classic stock I have. I'll probably knock the barrel off at 23" and top it with a Leupold 6x42. I think it would make a pretty slick elk rifle. Is a 338 win mag in an edge a good idea or a bad idea?
Were I doing a 338 WM and wanted it in a fiberglass stock, I'd bypass McMillan and go right to a Bansner. Really, better ergos for a 338-sized rig than the bulk of McMillan's, and tough enough for the round, while still darn light (25-26 oz's)
And I say that as a guy that currently has three McMillans in the house.
