Target shooting, large frame? GAP-10 G2 because of the Bartlein barrel. 6.5 Cr because less recoil and flatter shooting.

I chose 150 grain Gold Dots for the best compromise of barrier blind and without. For long range, it may not be the answer. For my purposes, that and TAP.

Nice rifle.

I'd take a hard look at KAC, LMT, and Radian, and pick whichever fits your intended purposes. For defensive purposes, and I wouldn't mess around with a build. I had a BCM 14.5" heavy barrel and an LMT MWS 16". I let them both go. I just got an LMT MLR with factory 14.5" barrel, and I'm going to...

That's a fancy setup. I was just going to say buy a reputable complete rifle since it's for defensive purposes, and don't mess around with a build. DD, BCM, LMT, KAC, Colt. Take your pick. I had a BCM 14.5" heavy barrel and an LMT MWS 16". I let them both go. I just got an LMT MLR with factory...

The MWS is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. I let it go, was too heavy. I do miss it, though.

I know the standard version of the AT will be the tactical pistol grip and the folder is an upgrade. Thumb hole rear stock can be purchased separately. Can someone please confirm the standard version is the tactical pistol grip without thumb hole rear stock? I don't want folder or thumb hole.

Shark or Surefire are the only two suppressors I would buy. Personally, I'd get the Shark Jaws.

Strike why do you recommend the MRAD over the 98B?

Might be a little off topic, but knowing what style gun you like, if you are willing to go 308/7.62, the Larue PredatOBR 14.5" with suppressor would make a sweet set up. I'm in the same boat with the 338 LM, and I'm sure you have read my thread. I'm going custom. I don't really need the...

I'm not from Garland but have been there on multiple occasions and am familiar with the town. I'd be more than willing to stop by. Unfortunately I only received a brief text from him this morning with no follow up at the original posted number. PM'd.

I'm fortunate to have access to these ranches. The Stillers Tactical action is currently only offered in 30, 300, 338 and 408. Surefire makes a can for the 338 Lapua. Yes I'm kind of going all out on it. I can't see myself ever really upgrading. But who knows what the future may bring...

I like the way you think. The 338 LM is really starting to shine for me. The 416 and 50 are just a little too overkill for me. All things considered, I'm almost 100% I'll build the 338 LM.

Thank you. My range is approximately thousands of acres.

Thank you. I do not need another gun. Actually, I've hunted so much, I don't even shoot game anymore even though there are various reasons why I should (control population, game management, store meat). Lately I just go to take pictures even though my 7 mag is with me. I have worked...

Chasm? OK. Step up into ELR? As I made it quite clear, I am a civilian, and am no way wanting to make kill shots at 1.5 miles. If you go back and re-read my posts, you will see that I want something special for me, which may not be special for you. What I like in rifle components may seem...

I admit, the 375 Chey Tac is extremely impressive. The ULD 416 is as well. I am not here to debate between 375/408 CT vs Barrett 416.

Quite the opposite. The 416 Barrett is a BEAST. I'm sure you don't understand my comparison, as it is a personal preference. The actual comparison was between the 50 BMG, 416 Barrett, and 338 Lapua. I really don't have to explain anything to you because your post kind of came across as...

Basically, ballistics. The 416 may not be as pin point accurate as the 338, but to my knowledge, the 416 shoots straighter and carries more energy downfield.

Yeah you are right it really boils down to my preference. Really if the ammo was more available, I would not have a problem with the McMillan Tac416. I have received a great wealth of information. Thank you all. For anyone else considering a custom 338 LM, the Remington 700 LA is not the...
