[QUOTE="Matthappens, post: 1355469, member: 92577"] I own one of those ll/111 338 Lapua rifles and it shoots amazingly. I quite regularly shoot to 1000 and beyond and will out shoot 338 Lapua's by different manufacturers all the time. It is more about your technique and load development than anything else. I do bed all my guns and lap the rings as well. You have to watch the heat a bit and can't go crazy when smacking steel, just wet a rag to cool down the barrel quicker but you will not regret getting that gun. Down the road you can change the stock if you want but the one that is on there works good. Savage makes very accurate rifles for the money and this rifle has a good twist ratio of 1:9. So that you can run the heavy 300gr. Berger and I highly suggest the Lapua brass with this gun too. I got a 1.5moa group at 700 yards with this gun the other day and sometimes get single holes at 100 yards. However for hunting I mainly use my 300wm for walking trips and I will pack the 338 if I don't have to go too far with it with the chance of a long shot. It bucks the wind way better and doesn't have as much spin drift as the 300 win mag. but they will both do the job just fine. [/QUOTE]
