[QUOTE="Navigator1, post: 444538, member: 28442"] Lol. No, not scared off. Just had a bunch of after thanksgiving shopping to do. Thank you all for the replies. I do have a few follow ups. I am looking at the Rem 700's and The only ones that come in .338 RUM is the XCR and the XCR II. The SPS Tactical has a nice fat barrel but it is very short and only comes in .308 for a .30 cal option. I am really considering the Lapua due to the feedback in performance from shooters much more experienced than myself. This leaves me with a cross road in choice of rifle. Advice I think would be helpful here. If I get the Rem 700 SPS Tact in .308, since it has a thicker barrel, would the idea be that I just replace the barrel and bolt for the .338 and the rest of the gun is fairly compatible with maybe some minor stock work? If I go with the XCR in .338 RUM then I basically would need a new stock and barrel to get a thicker setup? Lastly, if I go with the XCR and decided to go with the Lapua what if the orginal XCR would actually be compatible with the .338 Lapua parts? Just so it makes since, my vision is a long range shooter with i thick barrel, comfortable ergonomical stock, and a precision smithed bolt and barrel setup(blueprinted). I want a quality gun that can become something that will last and I can pass down to my newborn son one day. Thanks again for the help. [/QUOTE]
