[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1194896, member: 1441"] In a dedicated long range rifle, how important is it or not that it is a repeater? When I built my 6.5-284 it was on a Rem Ti (short) action, which could only run as a single shot. I have a couple of single shot rifles and have no issue with them. But that rifle, maybe just because it had the magazine there, just always bugged me, and I've wanted to make it cycle. No I'm looking at either choosing a .338 cal round that will fit in the my current action as a repeater, possibly with some problems dependant on the throat length, or going single shot, using a .338 Lapua based wildcat and having the performance I was after. Shouldn't be hard, but deciding this one has me up at night! [/QUOTE]
