[QUOTE="liltank, post: 413730, member: 13275"] Looking at the sight, maybe not. If interested, probably wouldn't hurt to call to see if they can get barrels in 338. But that doesn't mean one could call the barrel maker and get it taken care of from the manufacturer. I know a guy that runs nothing but Lothar Walther barrels and has had good luck with them. My cousin has a 338 Lapua using a 1:10 Douglas at 32". The thing shoots. There is no getting around that. It is mounted in a Target action Savage with LH port, RH bolt. It is set in a Choate Super Sniper Stock. His only complaint is with that much weight over the fore end of the stock, it is a little flimsy. This leads me to believe that a stouter stock would be needed if you are going to run a heavy long barrel with your rifle (B&C, McMillian, Manners, something of that nature). The barrel is mounted in the action w/o a barrel block. It is stout enough to handle that weight barrel w/o the additional support needed. Tank [/QUOTE]
