Now that’s what I call a proper build! Gorgeous rifle :drool:

Wow.

That thing is a work of art.

Absolutely! I am nervous to hunt with it!! I was told all the little dings and scratches will just add to the history of the gun. Will be cool to pass down at some point.

Nicest rifle I've seen. That's gorgeous.  :tup:

Beautiful rifle.  I'd be nervous too!  I beat the tar out of my rifles.   :o

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

Thanks! He did incredible work on it. I figured I might only ever do 1 more build like this so I went all out on this one.

Its never a for sure bet on what a blank will turn into so I feel pretty lucky with what I ended up with.

What a wild looking rifle!

What prompted you to get it in .338 win vs .300 win?

I already have a .300 win. It was a really hard choice though. I’ll let you know if I regret that choice when I go to shoot it  :chuckle:

It shouldn’t even be half as bad since it fits me properly compared to my tikka t3 lite in 300 wm.

I see, that makes sense! Let's hear some feedback on it after you shoot her. What's the gun weigh in at?

Don't own a 300 but my Tikka 270wsm is much more unpleasant to shoot than my wood stocked 338

That sounds promising. I was looking at shooting a Barnes 210 through it but a 225-250 was recommended.

Specifically the 250 Sierra Game King came highly recommended.

I tried 225 accubond, 225 TTSX and now have landed on the 210 TTSX and the gun likes them. I'm sure if I got up into the 250+ range the recoil would be a different story but the 225 weight bullets are no problem
