I'm interested in how it shoots, Savage and 338s are two of my favorites!


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.

Paid 1,018$ otd for mine
Will try to post a pic later.
the lapua case is big like a 28ga shell
Necked down to 338. Even 300gr bergers at 2750 fps are soft to shoot.
I sold it after a got hurt in a atv wreck few months back.

The guy I sold mine to;sold his and bought a ar30. Didn't know why he didn't like his. The 1:9 twist is a plus
