Sounds like a Hammer.
Been seeing some bad Brux's lately. Find a Bartlien if you can.

Well the barrels been ordered for a couple months. The gun is guaranteed to shoot 3/8th moa or better at 100 yards. Accurate Ordnance has had great luck with Brux and if its a bad barrel they'll stand behind it

Sounds like a pretty heavy rifle to be carrying any distance. Don't think I would want to hunt with it.

Wow 40 moa rail how far do you plan on pushing it? You probably won't need that much rail with the night force but better to have it and not need it.

Schmidt & Bender recommends 40moa rail. It allows you to get full 26 Mils out of the scope. Which should get me way out there

40 moa allows one to use the center of the scope more. Some think the center is more accurate than the peripheral area.

Yea they claim the sight picture is more clear near the center. Plus on low end scopes its easier on the adjustment springs when not tensioned so much. On high end scopes I don't see this as a problem. I have seen some scope with 40moa rails not adjust low enough to zero at 100. But you could zero at 200-300 but a lot of ballistic solutions will have to be adjusted accordingly.

I've personally had out-of-spec 6.5 and .30 cals that had to be replaced. The Bartlien's have been shooting holes lately. Best barrels I've had up to this point.

I did a 300 RUM a lot like the one you are describing here for a guy who goes by Tumbleweed over on Long Range Hunter. He has some really impressive targets posted and more important lots of load data using RL-33 with the 230 Bergers. It is a very potent long range hammer. He specified a 32" barrel and it's ripping the 230's out there.

Did your gunsmith measure the barrels to find them out of spec? I've had 3 Brux's so far, my smith said they were perfect, the 6mm,30cal were hummers, the 338 is giving me fits, havent decided if its the barrel or not tho, kinda shelved it. I just ordered a .284 Bartlien 5R Rem mag sporter from Butch's, will be going on an action ASAP.Butch's prices are pretty dang fair.

I should have just bought a [bleep] T3...
