338 Lapua now i need optics?

I just looked and unless savage screwed up on one single rifle your integrated rail is 20 moa, and yes Sightron scopes are money well spent, I have the 2 I mentioned earlier because 1200-1950 a pop for nightforces was getting kinda pricey, kevin cram from montour county rifle will sell you a SIII 8-32x56 with mildot or fine crosshair w/ dot for 750 tyd, the ones with the 2moa crosshair are a little higher.

He is a sponsor of this sight his web page link Montour County Rifles should pop up on the home page in green I believe, if not he's listed under the sponsors, just send him an email or call him before 5pm est, he's in PA.

I just ordered my model 111 longrange hunter in 338LM and im topping it off with the Huskemaw blue diamond, I have two of these scopes on other rifles and they are Awesome, as long as you gather the data correctly the turrents are spot on!gun)

I have a Vortex 6-24x50mm PST FFP MOA scope with a custom turret. It also comes with an illuminated reticle. Transferable no receipt required forever warranty. IMHO I don't think there is another scope that will work better for any amount of money. It cost $899.95 plus about $100 for the custom turret. I have never heard of anyone having any problems with recoil even with a 50 BMG.

$1149 I wasnt able to cut much of a deal. How long of a wait is yours out,On mine I was told awhile. A friend of mine talked with the Savage rep, and he said they weren't making alot of the 111's but instead were building a bunch of the 110 BA's I guess they are selling a ton of those, and thats about what they weigh.lol

Boy i paid $1700 for my 110 ba i thought it was a good deal.? Your thoughts?

And they said the first of the year but im hoping earlier. Ha

I know they weigh a little bit but weight doesnt really bother me ive been packing an STW around for years that weighs in at a grand total of 13.5 lb naked so an extra two pounds wont bother me.

 

[bowhunter42]

Man thats a hell of a deal, The cheapest I have found the BA is $1899 up to $2200. I do ALOT of back country hunting that I walk into, I just couldnt pack the extra weight of the BA 8 to 13 miles into the wilderness areas of the state. this year I changed rifles went from my 300wsm at 8lbs to my 300win mag at 10.2lbs and even just that small amount I did notice. You really did get one heck of a deal on that rifle, and from all I have heard the thing is a shooter! keep us updated when you get it and what scope you decide to top it off with! Jay

I got the 110 LRH in 338. That BA model is a tank weight wise. I prefer extra granola bars in the daypack over more weight in the firearm. Besides the BA is butt ugly (not that the LRH isn't)...lol

 

[bowhunter42]

Man I thought the LRH was pretty freaking cool looking, lol

Ya i seen what i could get it for and i signed. I hunt way back in the back country and i messed up this year. I was 13 miles in and i was watching these elk with a beautiful 6x6 bull and maybe 15 cow. Well they bedded down and i dialed in it was about 550 yards across and waited. I had a elk B tag. And my general elk tag for a bull so i could shoot anything but being 13 miles in i came for a bull. Something spooked them and the cows started up the hill being thick timber all i could see was bodys i seen horns three back so i followed and shot dropping it where it was. I was starting to worry when i seen a bull going over the hill. I walked over to my elk and i had busted a cow 13 miles back! Shity deal but she sure tastes alot better then a bull.

My wife's comment (I had the firearm sitting on the breakfast bar with a bipod on the front swivel, at least my wife is tolerant about firearms...somewhat....)

Was that the Savage LRH looks 'industrial' and I agree with that observation. Certainly not asthetically pleasant to look at but then' it's a tool. Most quality tools aren't eye appealing asthetically but functionality is paramount as this is.

Of course an AK looks industrial as well. Industrial and sinister at the same time.
