[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1424096, member: 41338"] I got one and fiddled with it a bit. So here's the deal. It's a great caliber. No, it's not Ferrari great or tons of hair gell great but it'll fill truck loads of game to be put into your freezer. With a 225 gr. bullet, you don't need a brake but it'll beat you half to death on the bench regardless. You need basic shooting skills before you decide to go 338 WM because your not going to spend hours on the range dinking around with friends and taking pot shots at rocks. It's the kind of gun you find a load, confirm it and go kill something and nothing more. It's an ugly stick and you need to beat something with it. Sure, you can fling it out to 1000 but that's not what it's good at. It's good at hitting a big thing and spinning it around and flipping it's feet in the air, and not necessarily at long range. But rather, definitely at your normally encounted ranges. The 338 WM... zero fun but the right stick when you need it for real hunting. [/QUOTE]
