My new 338 Federal (range update)
Here are some pics of my modified Ruger Hawkeye 338 Federal. It has an Accurate Innovations pecan stock that has full aluminum bedding. I had a trigger job (3lb), smoothed the action, and added express sights. I'm about to go on vacation so I plan on shooting it when I get back. It shot pretty well with Federal Fusions before the mods. I'll have some fun over the next few months with load development.

Yep..I like it. Nice wood that Pecan.
Nice choice of cartridge too.

I finally took my 338 to the range. It's a pretty good shooter with 200 gr Fusions. I tried some reloads but couldn't close to the fusions on accuracy. At least it likes the cheap factory ammo. I guess I'll keep playing with hand loads but it's nice to know it's a shooter.

The groups are great and must make going custom feel worth it. But I have to say, that is one sweet looking rifle! Please make me one in LH right away!
