.338
 

O.k. I've officially settled in on wanting a .338. I'll have to save a few months only 2 problems. 1) who makes .338 rifles (the only manufacturer I have found is Weatherby) do you guys know any rifle models I should look at to make a selection. 2) is ammo redialy avalible for the .338 or is it one of those hard to find calibers?

RE: .338
 

There are LOT's of rifles chambered for the .338 Win. Mag., what type would you like????

Federal, Remington, Winchester and several others make the ammo, so what flavor do your prefer????

RE: .338
 

I was just wondering which .338 you’re looking for ? The .338 Win Mag is very common cartridge with lots of options on rifles, but is it something else?

RE: .338
 

.338 win Mag is what I'm gettin' a hunkerin' for but I'm having trouble finding shops around where I live that sells them. The Bass Pro here doesn't go heavier than a 30 - 06 and the other shops havent had much demand for them since the .300 has come out (or so I've been told).

RE: .338
 

The best bang for your buck in 338 is probably a ruger M77. If you don't mind spending a little more the browning abolt is another good one especially with the boss. The winchester classic is another good one. Ammo is readily available buta little more spendy than the 06 or 300 winnie. Federal premium line is probably the best out there.

RE: .338
 

If you can't find a shop that stocks them on a regualr basis then just handle the 300 Win mags and find one that you like. When you do find one that fits you well and is in your budget have the shop order the same rifle in 338 Win mag.

Pretty much every manufacturer chambers the .338 Win mag.

Remington chambers it in the XCR. Surprising that it's only available in this single model.

Winchester chambers it in several model 70's.

Ruger chambers it in three different rifles.

Sako and Tikka both chamber rifles for it.

Browning chambers it in several A-bolts and BAR safari.

RE: .338
 

They are very common as is the ammo. I had two in the Savage rifle. Both were good shooters. I also had one in the Ruger. I don't care for the caliber nearly as much as the 300 Mag. But they are out there.

Uh, WINCHESTER - REMINGTON - RUGER to name just a few. Maybe the krauts make a .338.. This from Ruger.

RE: .338
 

Have you checked the used racks at the gun stores? It is fairly common to find a .338 in our neck of the woods (PA), residing in the used/trades section. Could save you a bunch. Just a thought-----

RE: .338
 

But the Winchester site didn't list ONE .338-weird!!

u better hold that sucker tight in your shoulder, [:-]

RE: .338
 

I would avoid the tikka t3 in 338 win. I had one and the stock split after less than 100 rounds. THey have a very weak recoil lug system. Your much better off with a ruger or browning.

RE: .338
 

my 338 is a browning

RE: .338
 

I also have the A-Bolt in .338 and BLR in .358.

RE: .338
 

I've got a Browning A-Bolt chambered in the .338 Win. Very reliable and accurate rifle. It will consistantly shoot 1 MOA. I've only used mine to take a few whitetails with and settled on the 200 gr. Ballistic tips. Anyting heavier will just punch through these 100 - 150 lbs. deer where I live. Federal Premiumswith the 210 gr. Nosler Partitions gives you good range and velocity with good controlled expansion on larger game.
