[QUOTE="B23, post: 1321204, member: 13222"] I have both a 338 Lapua AI and a 30-338 Lapua AI. My 338 Lap AI is built on a BAT HR action and had no expense spared when I had it built, the thing is an absolute work of art and shoots amazing. My 30-338 Lap AI was built on a Rem 700. Bolt face was opened up and had a M16 style pined extractor installed. It wears a 28in. (less brake) fluted #6 Lilja barrel and sits in a bedded HS Precision Sendero I stock. I consider it more of a blue collar working mans gun and certainly isn't as fancy and pretty as my 338 and in my hands, it shoots equally well. Maybe in others with a higher skill set could wring more out of the full custom 338 but in my hands they both will shoot in the .3's Also, on my 30-338 Lap AI I went with a Seekins detachable mag system so I can stretch the OAL out to 3.9 if need be but at present 3.850 with the Berger 230's is touching.
