Very nice looking rifle, who's muzzle break is it?

 

[Chappy22]

My gunsmith made it for the rifle.

 

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

Did you have it bedded?

 

[Chappy22]

it has pillars installed and he also plastic steel bedded the action. now i just need to find some time to shoot it and get it ceracoted. more pics once it is fully done along with target pictures.

 

[ICANHITHIMMAN]

Just a heads up then if the rifle is already bedded your not going to want to coat your action and put it back in the stock.

I see great joy in your future, that's me being a fortune teller. Let us know how the break in goes and how much fun you have sighting it in.

 

[Chappy22]

I definitely will i shot it and it the other day and it shoots like a 308 pretty much no recoil. Im used to shooting a 300 win mag in a 7 lb gun so this thing is a dream to shoot. Just need to do some load development and then see how far i can stretch the barrel .

Re: New 338 lapua

finally all done custom 3 color ceracote.

 

[devins]

That is slick! What do you charge per shot to let people try it, LOL? And it sounds like the recoil is very managable. I hope you have a great time in load development too. Keep us updated.
