I have been wrestling with the idea of building a 5-700 yard big game rifle for some months now. I don't even know where there is a range to shoot 500 yards in my neck of the woods.
I understand the 338 Edge and Laupa are great for long range work. I also understand that these guns are going to cost a couple of grand plus to have built.
My questions for now are;
How does a 338 RUM or Win Mag. Compare down range to the Edge or Laupa?
If one could build a sub-moa RUM or WM on a Savage action for half the cost of a custom Edge or similar rifle is it really worth the extra expense of rifle, brass and case prep for the custom gun?
Is there a better option for a Savage barrel instillation?
Keeping in mind I am not wanting to shoot 1,000 plus targets, rather targets in the 5-700 yard range.
Your collective feedback is appreciated.
