My savage m111 long range hunter 338 LM

[Magnumslice]

I fucking love this gun haha. The Lapua magnum shell is bigger than I expected puts a big smile on my face everytime I open up the box.

Guns purpose? You may ask. 1000-2000 yard shooting. Nope! Punching holes in 400my lb hogs you better believe it! I could have bought a 300wm but it does sounds a awesome as .338 Lapua Magnum. 100-400 yards shots yeah its like using a middle to kill a ICBM to hunt wabbits but life is short might well biy what you want. Scope is redfield 4-12 accurange plan on getting a harris bipod.

Hows the recoil?

Re: My savage m111 long range hunter 338 LM

Like a 30-06 with a 160ish grain bullet. Then again those 285gr hornady are listed as 2745fps.

I would guess the 300gr pills loaded close to 2800fps would have a more pronounced recoil that I heard the 338Lapua .im hoping to try some 300gr accubond when they come out

Magnumslice,

Question for you, is it possible to swap the screw knobs for the cheek piece to the opposite side of the stock? I'm a lefty but have been thinking about how I could makes this work. If I'm not mistaken, the adjustment screws just run through the stock and are not anchored within it.

Also, is your brake adjustable?

I am interested in how long the Redfield will survive on that boomer

Re: My savage m111 long range hunter 338 LM

Im left handed to. Yes its possible they just unscrew and reverse them that's what I did. When right hand just want to hold it first thing they say is I got the knobs on the wrong side lol ..
