The rifle shown in the attached pictures was built on a Sako 338 win mag receiver.
We sent the receiver to Douglas and had a 24 inch 1/10 premium barrel installed.We then sent the barreled receiver to Macmillan and had the stock added.
It shoots very well and seems to like the 178 gr Hornady A-max load. I am planning to try the HMS 202 gr A-max load when I can get it.
I have no military experience and am rather new to long range (the longest range I have shot was 600 yds but am planning to try 1000 yds). The rifle pictured has a 3X9 Swarovsky. While I have had no problem with this scope I am thinking that I would need a scope with higher magnification.
The max price range I am considering would be ~$2100.
All recommendations and comments appreciated.
Thank You,
