Has anyone reposted about hunting with the lapua? I have an interest in a sporting rifle version, such as off of a long action Montana. | |||

What action would Remington put this in? If you believe Dan Lilja, the Remington 700 really isn't quite bit enough for this monster. Could this mean a new big Remington action too? Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||

or possibly on a 798 action??? | |||

Wasn't Remington coming out with their new Super Ultra Critter Killer series? Maybe this'll be their newest addition to the S.U.C.K.'s line "Molotov Cocktails don't leave fingerprints" -Dr. Ski | |||

I can't understand why Remington would come out with a Lapua when they have the 338 RUM witch is faster in a few bullets then the Lapua is. | |||

Well you better take a look at their website it doesn't look like they are making the 338 RUM. Anyway I didn't see one? 338 RUM? They do in the 700 XCR I missed it. But most other models I looked at stopped at 300 RUM or below. Looks like they gave up on their .416 for now? | |||

If one looks in the custom shop he finds many rifles chambered for the 338 RUM and the .375 RUM and the 416 Rem mag. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Vapo I'm not going there. I know that I can have a better custom built for less and probably better shooting. Don't you agree? | |||

The one shown is on a laminated stock in .375 RUM for $1,800.......and in the photo the bolt handle is still attached...... When it comes to DG rifles I usually don't think Remington.....but the price is not relevant unless the product is acceptable..... My post was simply to show that Remington does in fact make rifles for the 338 and .375 RUM.....but only in the custom shop. For $1800 I'd expect to see a barrel band, iron sights fitting a safari rifle, and a walnut stock with a bit of figure. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Yes the 338 RUM is still listed for the Model 700 XCR rifle. Just follow the link that was attached above. | |||

anything about sporting rifles in the 338Lapua? | |||

I read a vicious rumor that Ruger might introduce it in their RSM line. Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||

I hunted Alaska with a buddy who carried a .338 Lapua sporter, Dakota 76 African in synthetic stock, in the late 1980's. I used a 340 Wby and a .375 Wby then, and could not understand the appeal of the exotic .338 Lapua. I do now. US Navy sniper program initiated in 1983, involving Jerry Haskins, Jim Bell (BeLL/BELL/MAST), and Boots Obermeyer, it was finally taken over by Lapua of Finland, and released to the world in its highly refined current state by 1987. I finally saw the light a few years ago and started with a CZ 550 Magnum rebarreled to a 23" sporter for deer hunting. It works. The AR-30 with 26" barrel and tank-style muzzle brake is a great bugholer, but paper is all I have hunted with it, a target rifle. Tex21 is right about Ruger offering the .338 Lapua in the RSM, new for 2006. The RIPoff line of Lapua and Mbogo cartridges is destined for greatness in the hunting fields, at least my hunting fields. I have an engineer/gunsmith friend that might have some info on Remington. You know that R&D for Remington is now headquartered in Elizabethtown, KY, just south of Fort Knox. Strange, eh? | |||

I went to their site and did not see the Lapua listed anywhere. But did see the 338 RUM and the 416 Rem. | |||

Go under Site Search at the top of the website and type in .338 Lapua and it'll pull up the 2006 product catalog, it's like the 6th page on the catalog. It's on the Magnum platform. I think I like it! "Molotov Cocktails don't leave fingerprints" -Dr. Ski | |||
