    Rifle Scopes US Optics Foundation series

    Custom rifle

    Yes, might be based on the Lap. To me the Lap seems new because it's only been around for about 35-36 years. There is some discussion on the Hide about the 375-338 Lapua, search for: 375-338 Lapua Improved

    Custom rifle

    I would try and find some of his fired cases among his equipment, if it is still available. Lacking that, the chamber cast is the way to go. Common practice was to indicate the bullet/bore first, then the case. If this happens to be correct, the cartridge may be based on a 338 case, with .375...

    Unsupported instruction

    And so, you add some weight at the butt to keep it in your shoulder, (but some shooters prefer a little heavy forward).

    New windmeter

    :cool: Did you notice this is an old thread (like 2013)? Reading mirage is a good skill to develop, useful when there is mirage. In the mountain areas, suggest paying attention to which way the wind blows, up the canyon, or down the canyon depending on the time of day and the time of year.
