Jeff,
There are a bunch of Edge shooters down here. The standard 338 RUM is a little shorter and gives you more play room than the Edge.
Given the choice I would rather play with a heavy Seven. 100+ grains per poke does tend to wake you up.
If you do decide to run a big 33 consider getting a can.

Or you could just buy a M700 LSS in 338 RUM and call it done. Here is mine and she shoots lights out with .5 MOA to 800 yards. Scope is a VX-6 3-18x44mm. ![[Linked Image]](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g147/JD338_photos/DSCN06781.jpg) 100 yds ![[Linked Image]](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g147/JD338_photos/338RUM250grABa.jpg) 200 yds ![[Linked Image]](http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g147/JD338_photos/IMG_20140823_154248_051.jpg) JD338

One of my donor candidates is that exact rifle in 300 RUM (used). It handled real nice. I will be sorely tempted to shoot it, if I go that route. And then with my luck the damn thing would shoot lights out!

He means a can, literally. A large one. You slide it over your head when you go the range in an attempt to save other gun owners the potential embarrassment of associating us with Obama loving dickheads like yourself. Why anybody tries to help your stupid ass with anything is beyond comprehension. Dave

Then use the .300 RUM and forget about a "Big .33." Again. Far, far too simple.  I want to build another rifle. It's not a need; I've got enough, and they all work well. Heck, I have a very accurate .338 WM! I cut metal for a living and it's a nice break from making industrial parts to work on a rifle. And, there's plenty to learn, and I enjoy the challenge. .......... but if the [bleep] DID shoot really, really well I'd be sorely tempted to run with it. Ugh. Then I'd be ".30-cal long range" guy. Nobody loves .30 cal long range guy. The smug "I'm so efficient" 6.5 and 7mm guys act all, you know, superior, and the "my dick is HUGE!" .33 cal guys are like, snork.... look at that wanky little thing..... It'd be a tough, tough place to live. (All in good fun, you over-sensitive 6.5, 7mm, .30, and .33 cal wankers!) (And that was in good fun too)

You've got a donor action, I've shown you a barrel. Bix & Andy triggers are available, along with McM stocks and DE bolt stops. Can get a reamer ground post haste. What's your hold up???

AJ, ordering the barrel next week, but if it was you that linked to that one Grizzly was selling, not that barrel. I want Pac-Nor, I want stainless, I want fluted....... Hopefully get it by March or April. I wouldn't say I have a donor. I have options for an action, but the one donor locally is far from ideal. Unless it shoots. Then it's just CONFUSING <g>. Probably go bare action there anyway, assuming the place I found one actually HAS it like they say they do. Unless I buy that donor. [bleep] if I know at this moment. The rest of the parts are TBD. Most of them are easy to snag when needed. I guess some stocks have lead time. Not ready to commit to a stock and won't be for a while. That style stock is uncharted waters for me. Plus I need to think more about magazine options; detachable box is again uncharted waters in a bolt gun. Do I want that? Dunno. Might be too tacticool for me. The scope will be a big enough single purchase that I'll have to either save up a bit or have a fat month and just go for it. I've got business plays in motion that are about to need resources as well. It's not going to be a fast build. Unless you're buying!

Suppressor's are awesome, tossed salad sucks. Big 33's scream 300 grain scenars. 30's call for 155 scenar. Sevens are more fun, and go to the woods.

A 10x Super Sniper is amazingly good for a few bills. You'd pay 5x as much for close to the same.

SWFA is head of the pack as far as "can't afford a NF" goes. Hopefully it won't be a money-driven choice. We'll see. The joys of self employment- I have NO IDEA how much I'll make in 2016! But '15 was good enough that I just pushed a few K income into '16 for tax purposes.. Onward!
Hit a few gunshops today looking for a donor. One I hadn't been into, is a stocking Vortex dealer and had several LR oriented models in stock. I'll trouble them to take a couple out of the case when I get closer to buying.
For that matter, my 6.5-20 Conquest has been really solid on a couple rifles now and is optically brilliant. They are like $700. Needs a ramp though as it is challenged a bit in the erector travel department.
Like Deflave........ bwa ha ha.....
