Is $1500 cash a good price for a new, never fired H&S stocked MLR in .338LM?
Thanks in advance.

Re: 700P MLR .338LM
Next question, now that I own it.
Does the Fat Bastard by APA require any fitting aside from the length of threads?
In other words, do I have to change the bore of the brake to fit? Or does it come built for .338 if I tell APA what its going on?

Re: 700P MLR .338LM
Next question.
AICS 2.0?
or
KRG Whiskey 3 (once its available)?
Thoughts?
Pros/Cons?
I know people suggest trying the AI/AICS stock first. Trying to get a chance at that soon. Anyone here in CO that has one that would meet me to let me fondle it?

Thanks for the suggestion. A little pricey for me right now.
Anyone have any suggestions or information to my previous suggestions?

If you can find someone local to you so you can hold an AICS, do it. It's tough to say if you'll like it or not. Generally speaking, people either love them or hate them. Personally I love mine.

Re: 700P MLR .338LM
I guess I missed the part that you'd already bought it. I apologize. Maybe someone else who is looking for one will come across this. Congrats by the way. I'm sure you wont have any problem enjoying that rifle.

I am going to look into it, and find one to get behind. It also has the advantage of being a bit cheaper.

Thanks. That is the plan as of right now.
For the simple fact that I teach a lot of people to shoot, I am thinking the Whiskey Three will be more useful when other people are getting behind it.
Anyone know about the Fat Bastard? Do I have to open the bore of the brake up? Or just time it? (I have a lathe, just curious.)

No need to apologize.
I appreciate the suggestion. Hopefully someone on here will pick that up. That's actually a pretty darn good deal.
Just getting into the Lapua game for right now.

Thanks.

Re: 700P MLR .338LM
Alright,
Scope base time.
Near Manufacturing or Nightforce?
Or 3rd option that I am not thinking of?

I used the Bagder 40 MOA from Triad, you have to get the 8-40 screw model

Re: 700P MLR .338LM
Can't go wrong with a mcree precision chassis..they are totally modular and you can order to your specs. I like them better than the aics chassis.

Re: 700P MLR .338LM
man i had my 338 in a AI chassis and i loved it but it felt cumbersome when hunting so i traded it for a manners t4. idk abt the fat bastard i put a jp brake on mine after opening it up for the 338 bullet. the jp does wonders. if you go with a 40 moa base make sure to get a optic with alot of internal adjustment, a vortex pst 6-24 didnt have enough adjustment to zero at 100yds. btw i paid 1650 a year ago for my rem 338.
