    338 lm build

    Savage or Ruger? if that’s your question then I would say Ruger. Why? The battel quality is likely to be better (less tool marks) and I prefer the Ruger bolt design over Savage. My buddy had some issue with his bolt right away and it took a while to get resolved.

    338 lm build

    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. 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...

    338 lm build

    Doesn't he specify "factory production rifle"? 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. I owned the TRG42 but sold it back during the chemo year of life. It was a comfortable platform with accuracy to spare...

    Chauvin CLOSING ARGUEMENTS

    As with WWF wrestling (wraslin) you know it's fake but you pick one or the other. You know they get drunk together right after the floodlights dim and the ring announcer goes silent. Oh, and isn't there always someone to play "The Heavy"?

    Chauvin CLOSING ARGUEMENTS

    MTG has bigger balls than DJT. They will not intimidate her. The more they try the harder she digs in. I rather think she has more intelligence than most of the "other side" too.

    Hello from Buffalo Wyoming!

    I went on a turkey hunt about tis time of year in your area. I can still feel the bone chilling cold! First day of the hunt it was -4 when we go to the blind and there was close to a foot of snow on the ground. It was almost gone by lunch time though. Next morning's blind was near enough to...

    Broken extractor Ruger RPR 338 Lapua

    I would shoot anything you load @j-huskey but the OP is shooting 93.5 with a 285 grain bullet. I am sure I have the numbers somewhere but can't remember what my charge of Retumbo was with the 300 Sierra back when I had a 338LM. Have the parts and about to be back in that game BTW.

    SOLD BAT HR Action NIB

    This would make someone a beautiful 300 or 338 Norma Mag. Good price too and no wait.

    Broken extractor Ruger RPR 338 Lapua

    Yes it is and no, not even the BR guys do neck only these days. Hodgdon says 89.0 with a 275 grain bullet in Norma brass. I would think your bolt would be stiff after neck sizing only with a stout load like yours. That and , possibly, the extra amount of pressure is causing the extractor...

    Lawn mower question...

    My Honda starts with one pull every time. As for fuel, I now live close to a store that has a pump with non-ethanol fuel for sale. Yes, it is expensive but I believe worth it in the long run. I have had zero issues with any yard equipment or ATV/SXS since I began using it. I let my mowing...

    Lawn mower question...

    NBD Brother! I had to replace my older Echo backpack blower and decided to go Stihl. Also, being a "stud", I decided I needed MORE POWER! Well ,even a stud like me gotta confess sometime; DAMN, that thing is heavy!!!! Looking at getting a Stihl battery power blower now (since I already have...

    Lawn mower question...

    If Kobalt brand could be any better than what I bought I would not be able to use the extra. Besides, I love my local Ace Hardware and it's a 40 mile round trip to Lowe's. But then I do not have the EV lawnmower from any source; just the chainsaw and hedge trimmer.

    Lawn mower question...

    I have Still battery powered chainsaw and hedge trimmers. In a word, awesome! I would not have believed the power available and the ability of the battery to deliver on that power for extended periods of time.

    Lawn mower question...

    Although I cut mostly with my smaller 48" ZT made by Hustler there are times I need a walk-behind. Mine is a Honda self-propelled and it works very well. A little lighter than many out there and, most importantly for my preference , the set-propelled mechanism is rear drive. Maybe not a big deal...
