    338 Lapua Mag barrel

    It will not affect your suppresor at all. I have shot all length .338 lapua's with a can. You will only gain back about 50 fps at most. But even then a custom .338 with a good barrel at 20" will net you about 2650 to 2700 fps with 300 gr. pills. If you plug that into a ballistic calculator you...

    338 long range questions?

    My hunting .338 Lapua is a AI AWSM with a 20" barrel. It sends 300 gr. SMK'S at 2650fps. enough to bring down anything at very long distances.. Here it is next to my 20" .308 AI AW..

    Big low fence 8pt

    Whats the difference if the buck was shot low fence or high fence? I really thought high fences sucked until I started hunting on my buddies ranch 50,000 acres some areas high fenced. The areas high fenced are all small ranches that all poach on my buddies land. They literally have all of there...

    If you could only have 3 rifles

    I want to say that I remember reading some where that they were working on it. If you can find one new for $6000 with all the bells and whistles sell a kidney to get it. That would be very cheap. The last one I bought which was the AW .308 was over 7k add the mount and the hensoldt and you are...

    "long range" scope challenge. What do you use

    Hello back Sir, I did not mean in any way to offend you or anyone else. I was just stating my opinion.. I own a Nightforce it is on my .338 lapua the scope is a tank while not adding much weight. You are completely right about the MP8 reticle that would be very nice. The best groups I have...

    "long range" scope challenge. What do you use

    The best is not Nightforce.. I own Hensoldt, U.S. Optics and Nightforce the best hands down is Hensoldt. The glass on the Hensoldt is amazing to say the least, you really have to look through one of these scopes to see the difference. Tasco does not even belong on the list unless...

    If you could only have 3 rifles

    This is easy for me. AI AW in .308 I could also switch calibers later (at home) and a AI AWSM in .338 lapua.. By the way I already have both of these..
