Still ton of life left in her.round count in my sig If your at all interested hit me up before I shoot it again and change my mind Looked hard at this rifle, but the single shot keeps me looking elsewhere. Reality is it would be fine as it should be a one and done kind of rifle...LOL Haven't ruled it out, but still considering other options. I'll pm you if I decide to go this route.

Thanks for all the replies. At this point, looking for a factory rifle that I can mount a scope to and start loading for. I'm not convinced I'm gonna be all in on the shoulder breaking big boomers..... , so would like to try it first. My motto is "why not", so when I was looking at a new toy to load for.....well why not a 338 lapua. We hunt moose in Canada and it would be a great pairing for such a large animal...even though our 300 wsm's have proven to be great plenty, butttttttt....WHY NOT!! Looking pretty hard at the Savage 110 Long range 338, but it is proving to be a hard rifle to find. Have found a few Weatherby mark V in 338....any thoughts on the Weatherby rifles and their out of box accuracy?? Never owned one. Christensen makes a couple....but I have not had the greatest experience with Christensen. The one and only I owned was a kind of a downer and did not meet my expectations.

You can buy 338 Lapua’s off the rack that shoot 1 MOA or less.I have never seen a 375 Cheytac on any rack (box store) for sale. There is an old saying (that I just made up, but I am old) Great rifles are not bought, they are made!338 Lapua is a great round. But I think I would do a 300 WSM, much more pleasant to shoot. Still the 375 Cheytac would be pretty awesome!
30” will definitely help that h1000 out. I was getting 2830 with my 26” and 300gr Berger’s and h1000. Got to a point where more powder wasnt given more speed. Re33 had better speed but dirty stuff. Never got to try retumbo

I can't figure out why it wouldn't but some sites said it would work better in a longer barrel. US869 is a lot faster burning powder so I would believe that to be true....but H1000 seamed to me to be a fine powder in a 26" barrel. The barrel length is the difference in about 3 lbs of gun between the two I'm looking at. Not sure the weight will matter when we are only talking 3lbs...
I like all the discussion.I'm just not sure what the end goal is,seems most of the goals can be achieved with a 7 mag or a 300 win mag.With a lot better packing weight. For hunting that is.Prove me wrong?Or tell me what the end game is.
