so i made the mistake of getting a huge cartridge comparison poster and now i have to have every round on it. just looking at the poster the 338-378 weatherby looks pretty similar to the 338 lapua imp. looking at load data and velocity the 338-378 seems to vary a lot. some guys get around 3000...

so I've decided to for go my original plan of basing a .338 lapua off of a savage .338 action off of the advice from some of you folks here (there you go making me spend all of my hard earned dollars on something actually worth it again) so i figure i might as well put up what I'm planning on...

been using solid khaki for a good while and its never done me wrong from mulies to coyote but starting to think about getting some camo. what have y'all found to be a good pattern for out in the plains of southwest wyoming? thinking maybe the desert mar pat or go with a conventional pattern like...

I've only very recently started to seriously look into US optics so forgive me for my ignorance! Ive read that US optics used to offer custom tube diameters in 30,34,35 and 40. most of where I've read this is in reviews from a few years ago. Longrangesupply.com allows for custom options and has...

1. y'all always talk me (or help me talk myself) into spending more money. everyone knows that tasco is every bit as good as US optics and that a savage action is just as smooth as a stiller 2. everyone here just knows too much. i spend hours on this site looking at threads and everyone...

can't get the badger ordnance website to load on my computer for some reason. saw that KRG might come out with a whiskey 3 chassis to fit the m2008 long action. can you get an action compatible with 338 lapua? does badger ordnance still offer the m2008?

i know this is kind of like comparing a honda to a maserati but hear me out! I'm planning out a 338 lapua build I'm going to start this summer. I've already decided to bite the bullet and go for a top end scope and a top end barrel and it go me thinking i might as well look into custom actions...

trying to convince myself to bite the bullet and fork over the dough for a good piece of glass. I narrowed it down to the nightforce BEAST but had always admired the US optics scopes I've seen around on the hide and decided to check them out. ive always heard they've got the clearest picture you...

trying to find a scope for a 338 lapua project. my biggest concern is am i going to have enough elevation in the scope. most of the scopes in my price range (i know i know, just spend the money, i don't yet have 3k to drop on a S&B or Steiner, ild like to keep it closer to $1500 until i can...

building a project 338 this summer and I'm starting to get all the bits and pieces lined up and priced out. been finding more and more clamp on brakes. always kind of seemed like the cheap half @$$ed way of doing things to me but I've never owned one so my opinion is pretty much based off of...

going to start up a .338 lapua project rifle this summer. chosen to use a savage action because i can do a good bit of the work myself over a 700 (would like a surgeon, stiller etc but not as flexible as far as scope base and chassis system selection goes) i would be trusting a gunsmith to get...

don't know where else to post this. pictures on at least the first 5 or 6 post i can't see at all. no link, not image not available just the text is this something just on my computer? (using a mac) is there a setting on the hide that i need to change? anyone else having this problem? hopefully...

figured this might be the right place for this question. would a savage 338 lapua action be different (longer wider etc) than a standard savage long action? reason why I'm asking is I'm looking into an XLR chassis. thanks y'all

been looking at some load data for .338 lapua mag for 300gr berger OTM. the berger website says the max load for retumbo is 89.5 gr. which puts out around 2680 fps. one of the loads i was looking at today says that he put 95 gr. of retumbo that got him around 2925 fps. Now Bergers site says that...

looking at starting another mauser project before too long. i know the remington 798 is supposed to bee based off a mauser 98 action and i think this would be a good way to avoid getting a rotted pitted out mauser action but my question is, is there any difference in the actions that effect...

when it says a scope has 0-120moa or 0-75moa (looking at S&B scopes) what does that really mean? for 120 moa does that mean i get 120 in either direction or 120 total (60 either way)?

i Know this topic has been talked about before on here and read a few things here and there and i know mirage kills at much more than 25x but i still like the ability to crank it up when the conditions are right and back it off when they're not. I'm planning on buying a .338 Lapua once i sell my...

So the other day i was down at the gas station here in laramie fuelling up and i walk inside to grab a drink and a can of dip and notice the man at the register talking to one of his "buddies" who seems more like a customer trying to get the heck out of there. so i walk in and grab my items and...

are they any more accurate than stock barrels? looking at getting a threaded barrel for my XD45. just wondering if they're more prone to help or hurt the performance of my handgun. any better options out there?

i know this is technically political but i dont think this will cause many problems. i think we all fancy our firearms pretty well around here. if you got any pro gun pictures go ahead and throw em up! once i figure out how to get pictures on here ill put some up.
