I  dont dude, i shoot a .338 and love the caliber, however finding a lighter one has never crossed my mind, i guess its cool though you could clap behind your back with your shoulder blades, ala Pat McManus

I second your sentiments on loving that cartridge.  If I was limited to a single cartridge for all big game in North America, that would be it.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I doubt that you'll do much better than the Kimber unless you go custom. I looked into it myself not that long ago. You end up paying an awful lot just to go a few ounces lighter.
