looking good so far. How long of a barrel are you putting on it?

 

[SJB358]

Looks very nice! Should be a really awesome hammer.

 

[CZ]

the barrel is 31.5in long plus muzzlebreak

 

[pre6422hornet]

Wow that thing is gonna fling some serious lead right there!

I didn't know they made powders that slow! :twisted: Seriously, awesome rifle with plenty of authority.

 

[DrMike]

Oh, yeah, that will grab your attention.

That'll do! I imagine you're going to have to order an extra long cleaning rod and case for that beast! I assume you're planning on running a 300 grainer of some sort through it? Berger? Nosler? Sierra? Lapua?

 

[CZ]

will run 285gr hornadys and 300 Sierras, will try also Nosler AccuBond 300gr, im building also a .338 lapua in a Montana Professional hunter action, will post some pics also during this next month.

Looking good CZ.
The 338 300 gr AB is a pretty darn good bullet.

I've ran all three of those out of an Edge as well. Of the three, the 285's shot the best for me. They're all good bullets.

 

[Guy Miner]

This should be a very serious, long-range rifle! Outstanding potential!

 

[Elkman]

Looks as though you have a great rifle going for you. Lots of potential there. !!!!

Several years ago I had assembled most of the components for the .338 Edge build - then backed out of it as I realized I wasn't all that serious about long-range hunting.

Had a Rem 700 .300 RUM barreled action, a laminated Joel Russo long-range laminated stock, a 4.5-14x scope, 20 MOA TPS base & rings, a Timney trigger, and a box of 500 of the 300 gr Sierra Matchkings.

Didn't have the dies or barrel when I called a halt to the project and sold all the components except the scope. It found a home on my .300 WSM - which is also a fine long-range rifle.

I do remain impressed with the .338 Edge, .338 RUM, and .338 Lapua - they're excellent long range rifle cartridges - just realized it wasn't something that I was going to use much.
