338

[DoneNOut]

Savage 112 Magnum Target in 338 LM - mine was about $ 750 brand new in the box, can still be had via Academy for $1,050.

I bought mine specifically to take the barrel off..... and didn't. It's been a hoot to shoot how it came, to the point I've given up and ordered two new actions with 338LM bolt faces since I got it. Easy peasy 2k yard rifle, even with a sub-$1K Athlon scope. Not as good as my uber-fancy custom 338 Edge, but for less than $2,000 to get it on the firing line and running it's been a deal. Still shooting the Hornady cases from factory loads ($130 for 20, screw you Cabela's!), with Midway 250gn HPBT second's for bullets, Ramshot LRT, Winchester mag primers, and send it.

The first five shots did NOT stack on themselves - more like 2" at 100 yards. And the button rifling coppered up an insane amount. But with handloading and more shots on the barrel it settled in to a solid 1MOA rifle so far.

Me: I wants it
Also me: Yeah, but I...
Me: You could die before having it
Also me: You got a point...

Where did the OP go? He asked a very general question then disappeared as soon as we tried to help him with his question.

Yes, and I'm a savage fan boy!!! I just received my 338 Edge last summer.....8lb hunting rifle with 26".

Is it contagious

I don't know how it happens. I think it's like walking into the dance hall and you give the homely girl amongst the hotties a chance, and she just rocks your world and sits in the corner smiling at you...or something like that, yup...
