I’ve wanted a nice high power for awhile but yesterday in a fit of unrestrained enthusiasm I picked up a Christensen Arms MPR in 338 Lapua. Also picked up an Accu-Tac heavy duty bipod. In a week or so I am going to make a decision on some optics. The last piece of the puzzle will be to take out a second mortgage and get some ammo. Will be a few weeks before I can go shoot the beast - waiting until monsoon season is over. | ||

Sounds like a blast. Never been behind a 338, but got 6 shots on a Barrett M99 Fun to shoot, but not to feed. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I'm not seeing a problem here (other than I didn't do the same thing). Let us know how the glass turns out. | |||

How much per round? I was pricing .357 magnum, over a dollar a round. Wow I bought some .38 specials. | |||

Congrats! Damn the cost, life is short. I’ve been thinking lately about putting together a rifle I can take advantages of wide open spaces with also. Great place to do long range shooting. .338 is a fantastic round for taking advantage of that. Besides, we have Lapua and Berger here, so you can support local manufacturing. ______________________________________________ "If the truth shall kill them, let them die.” Endeavoring to master the subtle art of the grapefruit spoon. | |||

Our shooting range in western Colorado used to make money for improvements by holding a “Hunter Sight-In” for those who drew tags in our part of the state. We charged $5/rifle to sit at a concrete bench with the hunter with a spotting scope and help him (or her) zero their rifle. Must say, I dreaded it when the guy would pull out a .338 Lapua. They obviously had muzzle brakes and I believe the concussion, when it went off, would separate your rib cage from the pleura. ![]() _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

It's actually fairly well known, that if you record the blast, and filter the boom from the powder charge, there's a very clear "cha-CHING" sound in every shot. Kinda like the AR buffer sproing, but more baller. Now let's see that Lincoln burner! | |||
