There is some sound device here, 338WM should be around 8-9 pounds with a good limbsaver pad, mine has a recoil reducer in the stock as well, build the rifle around the cartridge and it won’t end up collecting dust cause of recoil, mine was a 375 Ruger mod77 before a semi custom job to 338. The m77 is a perfect platform for this cartridge, 22” barrel is minimum and laminate a good choice... I have 2 friends with 338 synthetics that have been pushed to the rear of the safe.
Recoil is tolerable up to about 20 shots of the bench for me and I’m really happy about that. It really shines out to 400 meters which is my max distance at present, do it right and you’ll reach for it when ever you want that extra insurance.. do it wrong and you will shun an amazing cartridge, keep us posted
