[QUOTE="gnoltterrag, post: 1109020, member: 88301"] I realize this is an older post, but I wanted to lean into it slightly. First, both rifles are fun, and both are an elite caliber. However, just comparing ballistic coefficients of the two demonstrate the cheytac being more elite. I own a cheytac, and have also spent a lot of time behind a lapua. As far as I am concerned a cheytac has the ability (with the same shooter) to shoot farther, be less effected by wind, and hit harder. A concern of brass and die availability is always an issue, but if you form a relationship with CheyTac, there is no need for worry. Unfortunately, my bias stems from owning one, and the fact that I hunt with it. Although a lapua delivers an incredible amount of energy, for me, I prefer to hunt with a heavier load that will prove even more devastating at ranges from 100 yards to 1200 yards. To sum, both will make you smile, but the CheyTac is a rifle that after being purchased, there will never be a question as whether or not to step up and get a bigger gun. [/QUOTE]
