    338 WM barrel length

    Yeah I’m not sure you can fit a 236 in 338 federal. I know my rcm will push a 225 right at 2700. Lighter than 236 but still doing pretty good. There’s very little information on 20” 338 win mags despite several companies having made them over the years and Ruger still making them. Most data I’ve...

    338 WM barrel length

    Holy cow. Am I missing something or isn’t that roughly 338 federal velocity?? MY 338 RCM is faster than that!

    Lefty rifle for Alaska

    I have a deal cooking to trade one of my right hand M77’s in 25-06 for a blued and wood left handed model 70 in 338 win mag (plus boot). I’d prefer something stainless and synthetic for Alaska but if the deals right I think I’d just have it Cerakoted and have a McMillan stock made for it. I’m a...

    Lefty rifle for Alaska

    I’m starting to plan a few hunts in Alaska hopefully in the next few years. I’m left handed and always have shot right handed rifles. I find when shooting at non dangerous game from prone there is almost no disadvantage to a right handed rifle. I’d like to build a rifle for Alaska as I don’t...

    338 Build

    What kind of velocity are you getting out of the Alaskan? Don’t those come with a 20” barrel? I’m eyeing a left handed model 70 I’m considering purchasing for upcoming planned Alaskan hunts but the barrel is 26” long and I’d be considering chopping that down at least 2-4”

    Curious if you ever chrono’d this rifle. I’ve always wondered what kind of velocity a 20” 338wm produces

    Thinking about a large bore short barrel suppressor host rifle...

    338 rcm fits the bill perfectly. I’d like to see it make a comeback with everyone wanting a short suppressor host

    Short Barrel 25-06 Bad Idea?

    My least favorite part about 25-06 is that it needs a fairly long barrel

    Dump my ruger m77 Mark II .270 for a Montana Rifle X3 6.5c?

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    Tough to beat a Ruger American I have a few of them. I’d wait for the gen 2 in 6mm creedmoor just because I think that cartridge is so cool and is readily available now. 243 6.5 creed 7mm-08 or 308 will all do what you’re asking.
