[QUOTE="jimisbell, post: 2544963, member: 114969"] Just returned from a week of range prep and some shooting. Was in West Texas desert near Terlingua with the 338 Lapua and the 50 BMG. Mainly setting up a 1000 yd, 1 mile, 2 mile and 3 mile range as well as zeroing the guns in prep for next visit. Temps hit 114F in the shade, 1" of rain in a half hour, hail, wind to 50 mph. The sighting will have to be redone in Nov when we go out to shoot thr ranges. We will have to redo the 2 mile range for several reasons, but mostly elevation. But we have a good start. The 50 BMG recoils like a pussycat. That big break really does the job. I could shoot the 50 all day long without any discomfort. That was a pleasant surprise. Less than a 30-06. The Savage 338 recoils like a .223, very light with the factory muzzle break. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7151.jpg"]369933[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
