I was originally planning on asking Tac Ops to build me a custom 338 rifle, however my plans have changed. I ordered their Tango-51 in December of 2008, and have yet to receive it. Therefor I am looking in another direction for a 338. Are there any other rifle makers out there that can guarantee 1/4 moa? All price ranges are welcome, I don't mind paying for top notch quality

Re: Custom 338 lapua rifle
1/2 moa with match ammo is very acceptable.
GAP has 2 for sale right now in the rifles section.

Re: Custom 338 lapua rifle
Man, that is a LONG time to wait for a build. You can get a 1/4moa gun from a number of the reputable dealers here, and though it won't be guaranteed, you can certainly up your chances by listening to builders' recommendations regarding specs and parts.
I got a 308 from APA a year ago. With handloaded 175SMKs and 155 scenars, it will shoot bug holes, but frankly, I'm the biggest variable in the equation. I can't hold 1/4moa consistently (yet!) even if my rifle can with its sweetheart load.
Call up one of the builders and see what they're willing to do for you and what kind of cost it would take. Chasing that ever smaller group is a task for benchresters though, not tactical shooters. I will say there's a 338LM built on a TRG on the APA website with a test group to make you drool.

Re: Custom 338 lapua rifle
thanks for the link, looks like a good rifle, I've also looked into venom tactical rifles and nighthawk customs, does anyone have any exprience with those? venom guarantees 1/4 moa, 1/2 moa is acceptable as long as it can hold out to 1000 yds. i've seen a tac ops 308 first hand and have to say it looks like a fine rolex watch, and I want that craftsmanship,and accuracy, without the 2+ years wait.

Re: Custom 338 lapua rifle
I have never had a rifle capable of 1/4 moa, I can currently hold sub 3/4 moa out to 400 yds with my fnar. I did not have a place to shoot further distances than that until very recently, and have yet to try anything further because I just don't have the requisite tool/rifle to do it...yet. I am supposedly receiving my tac ops .308 on feb 26th, and will give my first go at a rifle capable of extreme accuracy. I am also an avid gun collector, although rather new in the realm of custom rifles, therefor I look at these rifles not only as tools, but as investments as well. A good rifle will hold its value forever, especially in these uncertain times
