[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 946804, member: 39764"] Lets see, I still own mine, not one to buy and sell guns like some people change underwear. I don't shoot it a lot but I does just fine when I do, actually shoots better than I can shoot. Mine shooits the best with 250 grain SMK's or SGK's, 40 off the lands (thats as long as will fit in the magazine GK's) with 96 grains of H1000 in Lapua brass. Primers don'r seem to make any difference, I started with Federals and now Winchesters (because Federals are non-existent or so it appears. No issue with the EGW rail or the brake and no issue with the Warne rings or the Vortex. Nothing moves, holds zero just fine, rail has never given my a seonds worth of issue, but then the rail is 272 threadlocked to the top of the receiver, the rings are bar aligned and lapped.... All is well far as I'm concerned other than the cost of reloading a brass suposotory.:D I FL resize mine with a John Whidden bushing die and set the pills with a front load RCBS competion seater and crimp the case moth with a Lee collet crimper. Far as I'm concerned (again my opinion), John Whidden makes fantastic die sets, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for plus John is a helluva guy. IMO, strictly, a braked 338 don't recoil nearly as agressively as my light contour 308, in other words, it's a ***** rifle with a brake. so I wouldn't consider it a scope destroyer. Without the brake it's a shoulder breaker.... If I had it to do over, I would never buy one again but then it's here and paid for so it stays. Great conversation piece anyway. Sort of like my Henry 44 Magnum lever gun with it's Leupold scope. I wanted one and I bought one. Nice being an adult with liquid income. [/QUOTE]
