i finnaly desided on a sub 40 caliber i would like for deer bear and moose something that hits hard and is damn accurace.

the .338 Lapua magnum but heres my problem what manufacutre would you go with.

i am left handed and i would prefer the gun to be a synthetic stainless rifle.

waffen fabrih hien was one of my picks.......mauser waffen was the other but its a wood stock made on there m98 action.

what other makers would you suggest.

Hein are nice people to talk to. Call them and decide - you have experience ordering custom guns. You will find them good people to talk to.

Cheers!

Have you considered 338 RUM ? almost the same performance, but cheaper to reload. Plus it's available from the remington factory.
Of course nothing beats a custom made rifle.

Good luck on your choice.

i was talking to them befor about there single shot action......i have to wait till this thursday till the big boss gents back......i told them what i wanted and they said it would be no problem....

but i sould still talk to the big boss to get final pricing.

basicly a 338 lapua stainless custom barrel integal scope bases machined into the action syntheic stock with aluminum piller bed im going all out i asked if they will garentee moa at 100 and they said yes. and trust me ill have that put on paper.

this should hit like a hammer 250 grain pills at 3200 fps. excellent 400 yard deer rifle.

kal i hate reminton with a absolute passion.....youd have to pay me to owen one of there rifles.........if you like remington more power to you but i really really dont like them.


iv sold every factory rifle i owen im going full custom from here on out.

700 nitro ----- I own and shoot a Sako that a buddy bought and had a very expensive muzzle brake installed. He couldn't get the accuracy he wanted and sold it to me for a song. It is really something and with tweaking became very accurate. 225 grain North Forks at 3225 fps. My 14 year old grandson (at the time) took his first Elk with it and now claims it and of course someday it will be his. My opinion of Sako rose considerably and the Lapua round and brass is exceptional. Good luck and good shootig.

Myself I think Remington Rifles are great. I own alot of them but also have some different makes. I own the 338 Rum and like was said I think it would make a good 400 yd rifle but can go farther.

the lapua is great but OVERBORE unless you have a 26" barrel. go up in bore size or have a loooong barrel. you might want a armalite 338 lapua

I've build 2 rifles on the 700 action, but mainly due to the availabilty. The 338 RUM cartridge is getting more popular over here, but the Lap mag has it followers.

Your project sounds exciting and I wish you the best of luck with it.

Please post pictures when you are finished.
