A 3.6" action isn't long enough for a RUM, imo.
I don't have one in hand - what's max COAL for a Rem 700 RUM action? Brownells has SS 700 RUM bare actions in stock, over priced, but it's only money...
Been thinking a bit about a 338 - I love the 338WM, but a little extra horsepower might be nice. Definitely a lot of bullet and recoil just for whitetails and coyotes, though.
