[QUOTE="rfc2307, post: 273311, member: 14737"] No doubt about it, Remington makes a fine rifle. But, since this sounds like your first Long Range Rifle, I'd suggest a Howa, Varminter Supreme (OK, Remington guys, howl N O W!!!). I'd just shoot it, and get used to the technical aspects of accuracy. Spend your big money on a scope, if this is a dedicated long rang gun, weigh the pro's and con's of a fixed power scope. A factory trigger will be fine, just read how to adjust it. The Howa comes with a very servicable, Boyd Stock. If you want to upgrade, ask yourself what are you really upgrading for? If you want a custom fit stock, consider a "MrSpeedBump" stock along with the usual suspects. Or a Howa barrelled action and get your own barrell and stock. The 7MM Mag action will easily accomodate the 338 Lapua. Save your money and buy a good reloader, I'd recommend a Dillon XL650 In any event, good luck! [/QUOTE]
