[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 1650, member: 505"] I have two 338 Lapua TRG-S rifles. I bedded both of them as best I could with that goofy lug system they have. Some modifications at my farm took out 350 yards of my range and now the longest target is only 650 yards. At that range both will shoot very well for hunting accuracy. The problem I have though is the action screws keep backing out even after lock tite. The torque on these screws is critical for accuracy and after a few shots they loosen and the groups spread. If anyone has accurized one of these rifles please jump in here and offer some advise before I make good on my threat of using super glue on them. They have a 1-12 twist from the factory and mine will not do well with the heavy high BC bullets available. They shoot the nosler 200 grain ballistic tips very well though and they are devastating on big game however loose velocity fast at the extended ranges. They do require a muzzle brake to be fired accurately at long range. They will knock your shoulder off without one. The 338 lapua cartridge is capable of taking elk at ranges far exceeding the capabilities of this rifle. The lightweight bullets it is twisted far limit you from using very high BC bullets that can reach extreme distances. [/QUOTE]
