Thanks MMERSS for your opinion/answer I was or am planning on buying a savage 338 Lapua Magnum Bolt Action, accompanying this action with a custom rifle barrel ( probably Pac-Nor ), and placing the barreled action into a tube stock/chassis. The area I live in almost every shot opportunity will be within ~600 yards/meters but with chances for up to ~1500 yard/meter shots thats why I included the 375 Xpress Magnum Cartridge for massive knockdown power at the closer ranges ( as well as being able to stop dangerous game in it's tracks ), however if I go to other areas I would like to be able to be competitive at the further ranges.
