That's it. I'm going to have to one-up this comparative caliber.

Another very nice piece by a master gunsmith!

Well, Rick has finally had a chance to finish my rifle, it's been 2 years in the making, the delay mostly on my part.

It's a 338 Edge after the style described in the LRH forum in the south. The only difference being the reamer I had made for it has .250 free-bore to accommodate the 300 Gr SMK, and a match grade neck.

I must admit , it's certainly larger than my average rifle!

The particulars are:
- .338/300 Remington Ultra Mag w/.250 free-bore and match grade neck
- HS Precision Stock
- Remington LA Stainless action
- Jewell Trigger
- Lilja 30" Barrel
- Tubb's recoil lug
- OPS Inc. Muzzle Brake
- Leupold Vari-X III 6.5x20-50 w/Premier Reticles Gen2 Mildot
- Volquartsen Stainless Rings
- Near Mfg Stainless Picatinny Base
- Badger Ordinance Bolt Knob
- Versapod Bipod
- 4 boxes of Nosler Brass (same lot)
- Accurized and assembled by Rick @ Alberta Tactical
- Drag bag / shooting mat / case by Dave @ Tiger Tactical

In the picture the scope is just sitting there, I need to lap the rings and mount it still.

This is a single shot rifle for the time being as I'm actually planning on milling my own floor plate and magazine assembly as soon as my CNC mill is online. The goal is for the system to handle a 4" round, ideal for the SMK or a Wildcat.

I'm also contemplating painting it in a camouflage pattern.

The reamer is with Rick.

Next is to wait for a nice day and out to Sybill Flats to stretch it's legs.

I know of a guy in Calgary that's got tons of 300gr MK if someone here is interested.

The last time I was at Gun&WholeSale, they had a bunch of 250grain BTHP , and 300grain BTHP Sierra, and the prices are very reasonable.
