    Best 338 Lapua barrel for a Stiller action

    Re: Best 338 Lapua barrel for a Stiller action Fred has the right idea. You really can't go wrong with any of the high end barrel manufacturers as long as you have a competant(sp) smith. I have a great shooting Lilja, Shillen, and my .338 la is getting a broughton 5c in 9.3 twist.

    .338 LM vs .308

    Re: .338 LM vs .308 Not to mention the .308 isn't really a step up from your 'ol 06. Before I get flamed for saying this, it's posted in the ELR section and two the .308 is only popular as a "long range" cartridge because of the military, guess what, the military really doesn't like it for...

    ok I'm stuck

    Re: ok I'm stuck First of all, Mike, until berger releases the new 7mm otm 195 gr. No, the 7mm does not whoop up on a .338 with ballistics, period! To the op, I would also agree that a 7mm caliber would be perfect for your intended use with your choices. The next big question is which cartridge?

    what to use to make the grippy texture?

    Re: what to use to make the grippy texture? Simple and custom for you. Use a soldering iron with the fine point for fine stippling, a chisel edge for serrated type or the fat end of the fine point (flip it over) for a scale type finish. Takes less time than you might think and it's...

    Re: Which bipod for hunting? you get what you pay for. I am a huge fan of harris swivel bipods, as I grew up with them. However, I am seeing my gg&g and my lra bipod go to the field more and more. I am NOT suggesting you go out and buy a piece that's abnormally expensive..... however. Don't...
