Thread: Savage 112 Magnum Target 338 Lapua Bolt-Action Rifle

@Stump this is ur ally

You can build a very nice nz made rifle with truflite/hardy barrels and a barnard action, that will leave you the stock to custom make yourself.

I don't know anyone who shoots long range and dosent reload...

Thanks for the info.

I'm sure I'll get into the reloading... lets just get a long range rifle first.

That's what I was thinking and use the .223 for trigger time/building muscle memory and learning the "trade".

Are you planning on going from nothing to 338 lapua?

No that will come after my .223 and .308.

Have you got the 223 yet?

If you are really set on long range shooting, the first best investment you could make upfront, would be in any of Nathan Fosters books, or even all five of the set. Maybe if you don't want to get the whole set, start with 'The practical guide to long range shooting'.

While it may seem like an easy option, it is a fairly demanding discipline, buying the good gear only gets you so far, and then you have to put some hard yards. Doing your homework by reading the above is a starting point. Having read the suggested literature, you will be much more informed about the reality of your ambitions. You will be able to make an informed decision on whether you want to pursue such ambitions, and if you do decide to proceed, you will do so in an informed way.
