Here's the latest toy... I'm doing some testing on a new prototype Savage .338 Lapua Magnum system. Think BAT, only bigger...
So far, the load development is going well, two of the Team guys are wringing out the 250 grain loads, I am playing with the 300's. The 300's should have no trouble at all at 1700 yards. It did amuse me poring over the ballistic calculators, noting that at reasonable muzzle velocities, the 300 grain projectile retains twice the energy at 1 mile as a .45 ACP at the muzzle!

LOL! We may just have had a conversation or two with the engineers on the subject! This is still the prototype, we are tinkering with all sorts of details. The finished product will probably be on the cover of American Rifleman come Feb. or Mar.

I agree, there is a reason this one is going a slightly different direction. The PRS you see here will likely not be the final iteration either though, we are making sure the ergonomics are sorted (enough adjustment, etc.). Some flavor of Magpul will likely be there though.
Id be down for buying one of those. Any word on possible price?

+1 on that Tan idea. but i would leave the PRS and Ergo right where it is. But I love the modular options.
Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. You know! (in my Will Ferrell Old School impression)
