Well unlike the previous post I don't think the 8mm Rem Mag is more gun than the 338. The 300 - yes. The 8mm RM is another great cartridge that just didn't gain enough popularity here in the states.I wish I had the $$ when I was younger. We had a gun shop that couldn't give them away. He had a deal that if you bought a case of ammo, he would throw in a Rem 700 BDL 8mm Mag.
