[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1269683, member: 4566"] Before you sink $4k into a Lapua custom I would council you to buy a Savage Magnum 112 and see if its your cup of tea. Street price is around $1k and quality is stupid for that level, before you discount it, as I initially did, go LOOK AT IT, then make up your mind. The solid bottom 3 screw action and 6oz capable trigger is nothing like an AVERAGE Savage. This would give you a chance to dip your toe into the 338 waters without getting drenched. I have built 338s on the RUM, Weatherby and other platforms and this gun is silly good for the $$$. If not go with any 338 sized action and any 338 barrel you want. They all make good stuff. Most action makers are building Lapua oriented actions, I would ask whatever smith building it what he prefers. Personally I would save $3k and spend it on shooting and learning the 338 platform first. If you don't like the Savage it should bring a few hundred under what you paid all day long. [/QUOTE]
