Accuracy International .338 Lapua Artic Warfare Super Magnum. Park A Schmidt and Bender 5-25x56 PMII scope on her and you will never have to worry again

Yeah! I gotta git me one of those!  Just a tad shy of $9,000 for the combination.

You want an idea on a build.  Go to www.asrealasitgets.net and ask.  Stick will school you up on building a rifle.   He's real good with beginners... :chuckle:

If you are going to build a long range rig that is a high recoil chambering and not a fairly heavy and/or braked gun, you are going to have to come up with a system to call your shots as you will never see the bullet fly/impact due to the recoil. I can watch my bullet all the way to the target with my long range rigs. The odds of needing a second and third shot from a factory tube are reasonably high as not many will hold sub moa on a cold bore, and not being able to see the bullet screws you out of any micro corrections you might need to make. Good luck making reliable hits with your tikka light rifles beyond 500 or so, things really start to change beyond that and not many factory mags will let you seat a vld out where it needs to be.

As far as savage being crap, there are two things making the rifle itself not so pleasant. The first is the stock. The second is a trigger. He said build a rifle. The actions of savage are proven. He could take a used savage, slap a used stock and used quality aftermarket barrel on it. The trigger used will probably be either already swapped or already worked. And just because you can see a target 20 times bigger through a scope doesn't make you any more likely to hit it at 6-800 yards.  :twocents:
