Good morning folks:
I am new to the forum, enjoy the shooting sports an big game hunting. I am presently in the market for a .338 Lapua Magnum. I am fully aware of the cost of ammo and pounding recoil, however, having a previous 416 Rigby, a 375 H&H and a .338 Win Mag I can take the recoil. That been said, I am looking at a Remington 700 MLR and it seems as a reliable accurate rifle. I am not looking for a MOA extreme accuracy nor at this point consider getting into serious competition, however, I do enjoy long range shooting and metallic silhouette shooting. I have a friend who owns a Barrett, however, I am not looking to spend that amount of $$ into this purchase, I have limited myself to $1600.00 at this point.
Any comments or suggestions on this rifle. BTW I tried the Ruger Precision rifle and that is a monstrosity of a rifle at 15.2 lbs, and I would not buy that model.
Sincerely
Basque1
