[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 947951, member: 39764"] I have that 338 Lapua and nowhere to use it.....Best distance I can get here is 300 yards (range). I've had it in NM but I too am not comfortable with a long shot because I don't have that opportunity to practice here so I too, passed. I'm sure the rifle is well capable, I'm not. Here, it's more of a hunt and stalk until you are close and then bang ot twang (in the case of a bow). I find myself using the front stuffer or the bow more than a centerfire or a handgun. I'll never shoot out the barrel on the 338 even though it's a barrel burner. Just wanted one 'cause I can. So, long range here is the maximum distance that tree trunks allow. Because of the topography there are no mountaintop shots down into the forest at distance, that don't happen, you are always under the canopy instead of looking down at it.... Hardwood Forests have to grow somewhere....... [/QUOTE]
