JSCHIEFEN Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Any recommendations for a 338 Lapua rifle and scope combo. Would be used for long range "social work". I've got a 50 BMG but its too much for my everyday purposes. Have 308 and 300 mag long range rifles and would like to replace the 300 with a 338 Lapua. Have shot the Sako TRG42, Savage, Blazer. Any other suggestions and also scope suggestions. Thanks Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootfastRunfaster Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) I have some data that will put your 300 out to 1600 + if you want it. A 208 AMAX will do it for a lot cheaper than a .338. About $1.20 a shot if you have brass to start with. You may ask a mod to move this to precision rifle where you will get more answers.

Bill M Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 AI makes a great rifle, but expensive. GA Precision does great work, but lead last time I talked to them was 6-8 months. I'm kinda partial to GA Precision. I used to have the Sako TRG-42 and it is a great rifle. For scopes Night Force, Hensodlt, Schmidt & Bender, and US Optics are all outstanding scopes.

Retread1911 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have a dealer buddy in TX that has the seiko for sale with glass loading dies brass and some projectiles. It turned out to be too much gun for me. Send me a mail if you want details on his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frog51 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 You can't go wrong with GA Precision and Nightforce. Worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspian_45 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Les Baer and Nightforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 You can load the 300 down to 308 but not vice versa. GA Precision but so does http://www.americanprecisionarms.com/ in a smaller shop with a much shorter wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
