Opinions on .338 LM build

[nikola499]

Hello all, looking to get some feedback from more experienced members about my long range .338 LM build.

- Defiance Rebel RBRP long action / .20 MOA rail
- Timney 510 trigger @ 2.5 lbs
- ATRS DBM
- Jury .338 cal 9 twist S/S barrel
- Cadex MX-1 Muzzle brake
- McMillan A5 stock


Any recommendation for a high end scope to fit with the build? I was thinking maybe a TT 525. Also, what kind of ammo would you guys recommend sticking to with this build?

TT scope would be awesome
I personally be reloading for it.
338 factory is ridiculously expensive and the little bit I’ve seen tested wasn’t really great With some excessive vertical at distance and performance at distance is why you go with a 338.

Yea I've noticed the price of factory ammo is pretty ridiculous. How many times do you re-use your brass?

if you dont reload ive found the hornady 285 factory stuff shoots very well in a few rifles

Not to derail, but is your brake on upside down.
