Thread: .338 Lapua build... thoughts?

I have a mate who is wanting a .338 Lapua for long range hunting.

He’s keen on that calibre so I’m not wanting to discuss other calibres as I’ve been there, done that with him so it’s gonna be .338 Lapua!

What I’m wanting to know is of anyone who has done this, what action, barrel, stock was used, pros, cons, who did the build?

The idea is the build a reasonably lightweight carrying rifle.

Money for the build is not an issue.

I’ve been thinking along the lines of a Defiance action, proof research carbon fibre barrel.

Thoughts?
