I don't think a Groundhog would be around long enough to debate Mil or 1/4 minute.

Don't take this the wrong way but...Is that all the better that a $5k+ combo can shoot?
How much better do you think it should shoot?

1" groups would be nice :dunno: 3" is what. 1/2 MOA? Thats not to bad. Most of the time you get out past 400 or 500 yards, its not the rifle but the shooter. I think as you shoot that thing and get a load worked up for it, it'll tighten up a bit.
REALLY!

For 5k I would be looking for something more like 1/4 minute or better, do you think you are at the rifle's potential or are you still working towards it? 1/2 MOA should be do-able with an off the shelf Savage pretty handily.
Post by: Jim the Plumber on February 14, 2012, 10:50:46 PM
Then just for grins, show me you shooting a custom non bench rest rifle 1/4 MOA at 600 off a bi-pod and rear bag... consistently.
Then feel free to come over in March and school us at the rifle match in the link below.
There will be shooters there from all around the country that will be astounded at your abilities.

FWIW Savage does make an off-the-shelf benchrest rifle.
I think team Savage has more than adequately demonstrated the capabilities of their rifles.
Post by: Jim the Plumber on February 14, 2012, 11:25:55 PM
I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings or something? You started showing off and got some honest opinions.Not sure how you or anybody on this or any web page could possibly hurt my feelings?

I shoot with one of Team Savage's shooters. Allot. He is a helluva great guy and a great shot.
I'm not too worried about a factory Savage rifle.
There a remote chance you could shoot 1/2 MOA with a Savage or 1/4 MOA as outlined in my earlier post?
We seem to have different ideas as to what showing off is. This thread is just for conversation. If I were showing off I would post up a video of me running 175mph + into turn 1 at Spokane Raceway Park on my R-1

Jim, targets look great along with the guns as well. I am irritated to see how some can view your posts as gloating or something! Its just good to see that most just see this thread is simply sharing your excitement. I will be checking your link for the shoot though as I have always wanted to go to one of these.
Hahahaha, he might as well post the video. He's already talking about R1's ????? 170 something ???? And the Spokane race way???? Along with corners????? On a guns and ammo forum? :tup:

On a good day and I mean ZERO wind and no coffee, I can hold 3 shot groups at 600 within 4 inches with my Shilen barreled Savage 8 twist 22-250 shooting 75 A-Max's.
It's a lot of effort on my part before my vision goes to crap and the target washes out :bash: Old eyes and getting worse everyday :dunno: But it's still fun.
It's fun to watch guys shoot that claim they have killed deer and elk at over 500 yards with their 30-30 and then watch them shoot at the 600 yard steel.
Basically all they are doing is shooting AT the 600 yard steel. :chuckle:...................... Oh, uh ya missed by 6 feet right and 10 feet low, but that's pretty close! Now adjust a little for the wind and aim for the moon!! :rolleyes: :chuckle:

Holy moly. Got some "shooters" here I guess. I'd be pretty stoked to see that at 600 yards.
:yeah:
Too bad a couple bad apples have got to turn it into a pissing match... pretty ridiculous.
I just wish I could find a range to shoot out to 600 yards :drool:

make the drive.....any rifle, any sight, 500 yards, open to the public, cost is like 10 bucks or so.....click the link and check the calendar....

Post by: Dan-o on February 15, 2012, 05:27:46 PM
We've never met, but those are some seriously cool rifles, and I appreciate your posts.
I will never own a rifle that cool (being a single income father of 5 with 3 still in private school will do that to you) but I sure enjoy seeing someone else get one and play with it and share in the fun.
Ignore the couple of idiots that just can't be decent and keep sharing. It's really cool stuff for some of us that don't get to actually participate.

I have never hunted with a 338; Jim, do you hunt with yours, and if you how often does a animal hit by one of those massive rounds get back up? :tup:

Ask this guy how an animal reacts to one of those massive rounds :chuckle:

Sweet looking rifles and cool groups you guys are shooting. :) . I see some guys shooting the 338 lapua and other guys 338 edge is there much difference between the two? Maybe some day own one after the kids are out of the house.With the same barrel make and length, there isn't any real performance difference.
If I were to have another one built, it would still be a 338Lapua even though Travis and Jesse both shoot the 338 Edge and their rifles will shoot almost as good as mine...
Post by: rbros on February 19, 2012, 06:16:13 PM
In the same length barrels, the Edge will outrun the Lapua. More case capacity. In a 26" barrel, the Lapua and 338 RUM will be almost the same. In 30" barrels, the Edge will run 75-100fps faster than the Lapua.
Post by: Jim the Plumber on February 19, 2012, 07:52:24 PM
Sorry Jim....hate to disagree. Our Edges shoot faster and better if the nut behind them is good that day. They are 2 rifles that will never leave our hands. Both have shot 3" groups at 1k multiple times, and a couple 14" groups at 2K. No way they will ever have new owners!

Just giving you sh!t about my rifle out shooting yours.
I will still say that the 338L can stay with the 338E as the L is set up to run higher pressure than the RUM cases among other things.

Hey Rbros... didn't Carlock come out with an edge improved or something like that? Is it any better? You guys mess with it?
I hope to have somethign like that someday... some....day.....
