[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 538185, member: 2805"] Thanks guys! Mr. Big, the Allen Mag is MUCH bigger! Based off the .408 chey-tac case, it can fling the 300 grain 338 cal bullets around 3300 fps. No need for a 300 Allen Mag, as you just can't get 30 cal bullets with the BC's the 338's have. Personally, I just don't have the experience or confidence to shoot beyond 800 yards- and that's just what the Allen Mags are designed to do. IMO, it's hard to beat the regular 300 RUM for the ranges I shoot. You might just be surprised how affordable one of the customs can be though... I bought the rifle lightly used with Redding competition dies (worth $200 alone) and 2 boxes of Accubonds for $1200! There are deals on custom rigs to be had for sure if you keep your eyes open. The scope I also picked up very lightly used at substantial savings. The only thing I would have done differently if I had built it myself would be substituting a McMillan A5 stock for the HS stock on it, and would have gone with a 30 inch tube. [/QUOTE]
