    what would you build?

    I'm looking to start a new build, I'm a long range bolt action guy. I already have a .308 built and a .338 lapua. I have a .22 trainer type gun as well. So, let's pretend you have a decent budget (3-4k, not including the scope). What should be the next caliber I put in my gun safe?

    30" barrel .338 lapua-too much weight?

    Re-barreling my savage 110 .338 lapua with a 30" Bartlein. Rumor has it a 30" barrel is too much weight and can potentially stress the action and cause "barrel whip". Anyone have any thoughts or experience with such a thing. 30" heavy varmint taper + muzzle brake. -W

    Found some BR-2's, I am curious what to expect switching from WLR's. I.e. velocity change, p.o.i. shift, consistency, better groups? (I'm really hoping to drop the flyer in my 5 shot groups) .308 win 43.2g varget 24" bbl 1/10 twist (Best group is a .330" center to center, 5 shot)

    25 yards isn't far enough.

    With the weather here in Montana I decided to shoot some 22 at the range (indoor). Are these groups a good start for a beginner into the long range 22 world? CCI subsonic and CCI green tag 10 shot groups.
