bojangles Report post Posted May 9, 2021 I steered clear of the .338 lapua solely on the cost of ammo. It was spendy when ammo was cheap. otherwise, I would have bought one. I was looking at the savage 111 long range hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zackcarp Report post Posted May 21, 2021 I still use mine regularly. It's my favorite rifle. Luckily I found factory blemished bullets for dirt cheap, and I haven't had to buy components yet in this inflated market we're in. I think the largest competitor to the .338LM is actually the creation of the 28 Nosler. Its trajectory is very similar. And 7mm bullets are much cheaper.

I happened to see that savage and I'm like Crap why dont we hear about them anymore and couldnt it be next month since Levers Bought that 38/357 lever gun in under an hour. That savage is a pretty nice gun in the 338 Lapua, I havent shot the ruger but didnt really like the ruger version. I have a few guns on my bucket list(so to speak) I need to get yet, one a 338 laupa ,another 50bmg and a few lever guns in pistol cal's. Then I think I am done lol. I even had thoughts when I saw the add to sell my bushmaster shorty from when bushmaster very 1st came out with that style (early 90's late 80's) its never had a round cycled through it. not very many guns that give me wood anymore You need to try the 45-70 MARLIN 1895SBL, beautiful gun, tremendous recoil.

Delw Report post Posted May 23, 2021 I shot a 45-70 in a cheap lever gun, kicked pretty good, I think more than my Old Tc pistol. ones I get some house work done going to start picking up some levers in all the pistol cals I got a few in 30-30 Winchesters older ones and marlins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Report post Posted June 2, 2022 I shoot a 338 edge and a 338 terminator ------ Both great long range rifles ----- Edge is cheaper to reload than the Lapua-- That may have something to do with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjvcon Report post Posted August 21, 2022 Is the Edge still a thing? Used to hear about those all the time too...now not so much. The 338 RUM that SHOULD have been...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azsugarbear Report post Posted September 28, 2022 I still have and shoot my 338 Allen Express (338 Lapua Imp.). It's my favorite LR rig with those 300 grain Bergers. My set-up is close to 14 pounds with scope, so it aint no walkin-around hunting rifle. I usually set up on an overlook with a large killing field and wait. It delivers a ton of energy, even at 1200+ yards. It usually gets the nod over my 300 RUM. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
