FINALLY

[bigbulls]

After a long waiting period saving money here and there I finally brought home my new toy I told you all about a few months ago. A Christmas present to me!

Remington 700 stainless 338 ultra mag. It sits in a black HS Precision stock and I scoped it with a Burris FF-II 3-9X40 scope in Warne rings and bases.

Can't wait to get to the range and pound my shoulder a bit.

Only problem with this HS stock is that it has the standard hard rubber pad on it.[8D] I think I am gonna have to remove it and grind me a Limb Saver pad to fit it.

Sounds good. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you from you.

[statjunk]

Where are you going to shoot it?

Sounds like a great setup Bigbulls. 338 RUM should be heap big medicine on the elk!

[Matthew V. (An outdoorsman)]

Sounds like a sweet setup. I'm also thinking about getting myself a nice rig.........

[bigiron]

I love the rum's theres nothing better I want another one

[Rebel Hog]

BB,you're DA man! Congrat's on your Christmas present to your self!

[KareImp]

Congrat's bigbulls. Do you reload? If so keep us posted what you find that works.

As soon as I can get a weekend day warm enough to shoot, I'll be taking my 338 Rum out to start the load building and barrel break in.

I kind of had getting one in the back of my mind, and one day while browsing, the gun store had a Rem 700 LSS left hand marked down to $550. Since I'm a lefty it was kind of a situation of opportunity, I told em if they would make it 500 I'd write the check - and left with it.

I'm kind of interested in finding a good, not great, consistent load as quickly as possible. It's not the gun I really anticipate shooting alot.
