For you guys wanting a 338

338's seem to be flavor of the month at the mo, few guys wanting a hunting rifle that's a little bigger & gruntier. He's something to get em juiced up hahaha

I'd just mounted my VX6 in some new 34mm Tier One rings I got off Alonzo so with the weather on Saturday being primo, ended up going out with Muzza to his oldies farm to check it's zero. Slight L-R wind, Checked at a hundy then out to 200 yards fired one shot was low & left, adjusted and fired two more ( I know this thing shoots so two shots is enough, just to make sure )

Two rounds through one hole @200y Yeah sorted, Chur :thumbsup:

Great shooting :)

Who built it again ? :D

338 edge built by Terminator Products lol, 300 Berger Elite Hunters with 95g 2225 at 2835fps, not bad for a fairly lightweight hunting rifle 9.6lb.

Shot a few beasties with it this year- Chammie @ 550y Tahr @ 630 & 640y & cleaned up these four Redskins in under two mintues @ 120, 200, 440 & 450y

Nice. What power Leupold you using?

So what scope will you have on it next week......

4-24 x 52, quite a nice scope, very good glass & reticle ( TMOA ) It's a big sucker though & it's 34mm tube is a bit of a pain in the arse

That sunshade wrecks it :P

Yeah it is a bit ugly but it works, for some reason that scope suffers terrible sun strike with out it.

Must be that fat tube letting in all that light :D

is this 338 win, 338 fed or 338 lapua ?

Edge

Fucking hell, is that barrel about 5ft long or is the photo distorted? (Based on normal human size......) :)

Nice shooting though.

For the record Phil struggles to hunt his way out of a paper bag and all qudos to the guide.

No the barrell is not that long, Phillipo is just that vertically challenged.

Well he overcomes the challenge pretty well obviously! :-)

Are you short?


A good feed and a nice rig aswell. Plus maybe a average guide, a good rifle builder, a good vehicle.... - actually, what did you do in this harvesting of meat @Philipo :)

That Brads is a top bloke :thumbsup: lol

Thanks for that Phill, what little boy doesn't want a bigger bang stick?

It's alway great to see pictures of others, yours does look pretty impressive. One day...

I'm always thinking about selling a few rifles and buying a .338, like you, I think the Edge is the way to go.

I got a 45/70 for the time being...

This rifle can shoot for sure! First time firing it I hit the gong at 770y at @BRADS last year.

I was as surprised as @Philipo given that his rifles usually aren't sighted in.

Everyone spent the months of anticipation leading up to the shoot sighting in their rifles, checking and rechecking their drop charts, making sure everything was in place, and Phil rocks up and starts banging away with a tikka that didnt even have the rings done up...

:thumbsup:

I think I allowed myself about 2 weeks to set up two rifles, do load development, load up as much ammo as I could and sight in. It showed too! :D

Was that the guy rolling 270 bergers down the hill trying to play ten pin with the gongs?
