[QUOTE="pondskipper, post: 1067441, member: 26430"] Scope shouldn't be an issue, it's a vortex razor hd 5-20x50 with mill turrets and ebr2-b reticle. I had it mounted on a 5r milspec 300 win mag I got rid of to build this thing for tremendous knockdown on 300 pound plus wild hogs at 1000-1200 yards and hopefully get out to the mile mark one day. The 300 win mag believe it or not was way more of a beast in the recoil department than this thing is. The 338 is over 20lb with scope and fully loaded mag plus it has a badger fte brake on it, the 300 didn't have anything and I was shooting 208 gr amax's through it at 2800fps with the same lot of h1000 I've been using in the 338 and it was printing 1/2" groups at 100 yds. Kinda wish I had kept it now.. :( (idiot..) all I did to it was bed it and put a jewel trigger in it set at 8 ounces and only ever shot it from a atlas bipod as well. The bore had only had a dry patch run through it to make sure it was clear of anything that could have gotten into the bore. Anyone know what lapuas recipe is for their 300gr factory stuff? May be the go to for this gun. (hopefully) [/QUOTE]
