Re: 375 chey tac or 338 lupua???
How much do you want to spend is the question? Also, how far do you want to shoot?

Re: 375 chey tac or 338 lupua???
.338LM has the advantage of readily available ammo (both loaded and components), is good to a mile and can be built on a platform not much bigger than your average long action bolt gun.
.375CT has the opposite problem with ammo and the rifle is scaled up further in size from the .338LM, however it's not the scale required for .50BMG.
If you don't expect to shoot past 2000 yards, go .338LM. If you make your own precision ammo and intend to shoot past 2000 yards, go .375CT.

the most i want to spend on a rifle right now is around 4500 just the rifle no optics and i would like to out to 2000 yards but it will be hard to find a place where i can shoot that distance around here

The Lapua with the right load will be good for about 2600yds if you do you part. I`ve seen it done.

Unless you plan to shoot beyond 2400 + yards on a regular basis, the 375CT is much more costly to shoot. I have a 338LM and i am happy with that.
