The stock construction & fit will make a big difference on guns like the 338 and the 300's.
I had a Rem KS mtn rifle that shot sweet. You had to pay attention to it, but it wouldn't hurt you if you did. I bought it in about 1990. Went in and asked to have all the synthetic stocked guns put on the counter. He put out 6-8 guns there. I wanted the lightest I could get, turned out to be the second most expensive as well. Was surprised at the differences in the various guns at the time. You can still order that gun from the custom shop, and if you are worried about the trigger, put a Timney or something else in it. I doubt that gun cracked 8 to 8-1/2 lbs with a 3-9 Leupold on it. Had a number of people shoot it, they all remarked how nice it was to shoot, even off a bench. Believe the stocks on those at the time were McMillan.
