[QUOTE="KAMIKAZE BOB, post: 2544443, member: 123427"] I used to have the Savage 110BA in 338 Lapua. After attaching a Terminator T4 (aka - American Precision Fat Bastard) Gen 1 muzzlebrake, I got my reloads down to same hole at 100yds, about 1/4" at 200yds, and 1.75" groups at 600yds (under .29 moa). I found the Savage to be the most accurate 338 Lapua I've ever shot (and big bang for the money!). I sold it because of the frequent brass sticking in the chamber (read numerous Forums on this problem of which Savage denies). Because no brass sticking issues were commented on the Ruger Precision, I then purchased a Ruger Precision in 338 Lapua to replace the Savage. Yes, even after quick firing of the Ruger, no sticking issues. I found the Ruger to be accurate (5/16" at 100yds & 5/8" at 200yds) but not as accurate as the Savage. I just ordered the American Precision Gen3 Fat Bastard Self-Timing muzzlebrake (updated version of the T4 brake). According a some barrel makers, the muzzlebrake will affect the barrel harmonics, which will affect the accuracy. I found this to be true on the Savage. So, when I receive and attach the new muzzlebrake (possibly next week) I will be doing some range testing to see if the accuracy improves on the Ruger 338 Lapua. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
