[QUOTE="highridge1, post: 490838, member: 10327"] I would take the remington 700 over the Vanguard. The Mark V action is a great choice but I never see any on gun racks for $450 and I look... You would be lucky to find one for $575 and thats a great deal.The 338 edge is a great round,but the 338 ultra is so close to it in performance I would just go 338 ultra and buy 338 ultra brass instead of necking 300 ultra to .338. When I look at investing in a gun I think about what it would be like to sell it if I decide too. Building on a Savage or Vanguard action isn't going to help you out at all, trying to get funds back on a sale. Tons of guys like rem 700's and they are very proven in long range BR.The Mark V is great too, a local guy is getting accuracy at 2000 + yards with his 338 lapua AI built on a Mark V action. Consider a 28 inch barrel + Brake,you'll get the performance you need and it will be handy enough,30+ inch barrels get awkward aand aren't necessary. There are guys getting 2800 fps in the 338 ultra with 300 gr and the edge is in the 2850's in most cases ,so they are very close. [/QUOTE]
