[QUOTE="steelef, post: 1614638, member: 66622"] Seems to me, I was in a similar position a few years back, when I wanted a 338 Federal for some of the thicker hunting areas in NE Wash. woods. I ended up catching a Savage trophy hunter package on sale for around $400. Ended up replacing the scope, will be replacing the stock soon, and eventually putting a different barrel on it. Sort of a build as I go approach. Current set up though shoots the Barnes 185 grain TSX over H4895 more than accurately enough for the ranges I encounter in these woods and I'd suspect similar to the ranges you'd encounter too. I attached my final load testing card and target for the Barnes bullets (46, in top right, 46.5 in middle) for your reference. Well hope if you do end up building 338 Federal you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine. [/QUOTE]
