As far as a factory production rifle, whats everybody liking in the 338 lapua mag platform? Without spending $4k+?
Doesn't he specify "factory production rifle"?If thats your budget, assemble it yourself with quality components. You can even get the tools to do it and still be way under budget.
I know Savage has several versions in 338LM but my favorite was the TRG42 from Sako. You also have the Ruger RPR in the mix now.As far as a factory production rifle, whats everybody liking in the 338 lapua mag platform? Without spending $4k+?
He does, but who would opt for that over a custom? I suspect maybe he doesn't know he can do that. The TRG is one the few that uses his budget, and is a good rifle. No chance I pick the TRG though when I could have a Lone Peak/Bartlein/AI chassis for his budget.Doesn't he specify "factory production rifle"?

I owned the TRG42 but sold it back during the chemo year of life. It was a comfortable platform with accuracy to spare.
Recently, I decided to go 338LM and did some shopping. Prices have definitely escalated from a year ago (or less). I also looked into building one from the ground up and that idea won. I have a Brux 9.5 twist blank to finish at 30" and it will go on a Kauger Precision SST Viper action. Once that is done my plans include the KRG X-Ray chassis and a Trigger Tech trigger.
Funny thing though; I have about as much sunk into dies and components as gun parts right now.
I bought a RPR in 6 CM a few months ago. I really don't care for the butt of the chassis but it does shoot very well.No love for the ruger prec!

A buddy has one of the Savage 110 versions in 338. He paid $1500 before the big run. Now they are running $2k+ and the RPR 338LM I have seen are right at $2,500. I'll be sitting about $2500 in my custom build when finished.
Savage or Ruger?Which do u like better?
LOOK HERE! Seems like a great deal.As far as a factory production rifle, whats everybody liking in the 338 lapua mag platform? Without spending $4k+?
