[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1268570, member: 4566"] Honestly unless you have played with a lot of 338s (probably wouldn't be this thread if ya had), go buy a Savage M112 338 Lapua and go to town. Stupid build quality and stupid accurate. Recoil is livable and the trigger is within 90% of a Jewell. Be better to see if a 338 is your cup of tea for $1k instead of spending $4k on a custom and find out that the weight, recoil and blast of a 338 isn't YOUR cup of tea. I have had a BUNCH of 338s as I hunt out of a truck and don't care what a rig weighs. They are MY cup of tea, but I would say dip your toe in the water 1st and see what ya think. I'm pretty sure you will find that the M112 will do 99.999% of anything a $4k custom will and if ya don't like it you can turn it for a $1-200 loss and start over in another caliber. My 1st 50BMG I bought 1 at a gun show. On the way out a guy sold me another at a price I couldn't resist. HATED THEM. When going outside the norm its best to give it a lil try before jumping out of the plane. [/QUOTE]
