[QUOTE="Kalashnikov, post: 205819, member: 5730"] This rifle is 1 of 10 that have made it into Canada last month, from what I understand. I had it on order for a few months through my local dealer, and picked it up in late-April. These have been rumoured for release for a couple years now, and I think Remington finally released 200 or so this spring in US and Canada. Australia received 50 or so last year, I believe. The overall barrel length is 26", but the effective barrel length (minus brake) is 24", hence the 2800ish fps with the 250 Scenars. 1 in 10" twist. It is a standard Remington heavy barrel - Sendero/Police contour. It is a very handy rifle for a hunting rig, but will likely get a 27-28" custom tube, after I burn-out this barrel. Brake works surprisingly well - recoil when shooting 250 grainers is about like my 280 Remington. This 338 LM kicks less than my braked 300 RUM. Good brake IMO, but I have not tried the DE or Holland type 'gill' brakes, so not sure how it compares to those. It is fun to shoot. Standard HS Precision 'Police?' stock - pretty sure it is the same as all Remington 700P stocks, except for the bottom metal that is HS Precision detach mag kit (3 round capacity). I paid $1500 up here in Canada, pretty pricey for a factory rig, but still reasonable IMO for a 338 LM. I have heard they are going for around $1200 in the US, if you can find one. [/QUOTE]
