[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 104685, member: 10"] I played with one in 338 Lapua several years back developing loads for a customer. Appearance was great, very nice idea as well, only problem was that at 100 yards, the very best groups were in the 1.75" range. These were the VERY best!! Most were in the +2" range and some even over 3". I was not impressed at all with the accuracy of the rifle. A while later I read a review in Shooting Times Magazine about a very similiar rifle. Accuracy reports in that testing were nearly identical to mine. Funny thing is that the author felt this was totally acceptable. I believe it was Rick Jamison who was testing the rifle. I have only seen two test of this rifle type. Mine and Jamisons, they both reflected the same poor consistancy. jamison said that since this rifle was so powerful, the group size was totally acceptable. If I made a 338 Lapua or any rifle that shot that poorly, I would never let it out the door!!! If I were you I would pass on the rifle. Its a good idea but I would guess you will not get the consistancy you want in a rifle. Especially if your hanging around here and think like most of us do!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
