I just bought this rifle used for $800. Came with scope and bipod, its my 54th birthday Saturday May 4th so this will be a birthday present for myself. Its also my first .338LM rifle I've ever owned so looking forward to learning more about it as time will go on. Good video, something for me to learn from, but damm man, can i bring mine to that beautiful area to shoot?? Be safe...
I'm using Lapua brass, H1000, Fed 215M's, and Sierra 300 gr Matchkings out to 1646 meters with no problem. ES and SD looking good, generally run about .45 MOA.
Right, the audio was "single action" but it is a single shot. My trigger is tuned to about 12oz. Factory literature says it can go to about 6oz, but mine is set as light as I can confidently run the rifle. Family that have shot it go slack jawed at both trigger pull and lack of recoil. The muzzle brake Savage puts on these rifles is very effective!!
@@NorthWestGuns thank you for the response, I am really kind of saying away since I can't reload that caliber bullet, Almost got a Savage 110ba in 300win for 900 and passed it up like an idiot 🤣
@@happytrails5342 Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it unless you reload. But definitely look into a savage model 12 target that’s a 6.5 Creedmoor, it’s a little more affordable and a very comparable rifle
@@NorthWestGuns that's sounds a little slow. to me. but no expert. .Just started to reload for a fierce 338 lapua 3.3720 coal hard to find power as you know. so I'm trying N570 for now. I Have the 265 nosler long range doing 2910 fps and the 250 Berger doing 2950 fps. both loads are shooing well as soon as the weather clears I will test the more at distance. and many tweek things shot the 250 Berger to 913meters and the 265 nosler to 1175 meters so far .I have a little bit of retumbo to test and getting some H100O in a few weeks. Have some 285 elms in the mail I think that will be the last bullet I test. .If the eldms shoot at around 2800. with there high bc they mite just be the bullet for my gun
@@NorthWestGuns if im using a scope that has 1/10th mil adjustment would it be ok to use the 20 moa scope base or would that throw me off while sighting in my scope bc its in mrad and not moa
Why do you pronounce it “hor-nuh-day?” Its Hornady (hor-nuh-dee). Do you always add extra vowels to words? Do you say nuke-ya-ler instead of new-clear?
What are you? The grammar and pronunciation police? To each, their own. If someone offered you a free beer nine-tenths full, you would cry over and complain about the missing tenth.

I own the same rifle. What bipod are you using on the rifle?
That’s a long range shot, good shooter with a good rifle
Thank you
I need to come out there and shoot... WOW... Beautiful... both the environment and the gun. =) Good shooting!
Awesome rifle and good shot brother. Beautiful area you have for a range.
Thanks man I appreciate it! I love it out where I live
When did you but the gun and dose savage still currently make them?
Yes savage still makes the 112 target magnum and I have had mine for over a year now
@@NorthWestGuns ok thank you because I was wondering about getting one.
What are you using for the Bipod?
The bipod is a UTG heavy duty
Can this .338 lapua magnum rifle be suppressed?
Yes it can be
Does the gun just hold one Shell at a time
yes it is a single shot

What’s the newest model between savage 338’s?
110 Percision and 110 elite Percision
Nice looking rifle u got there sir
Thank you
what range did u zero ur gun in at
There is a range about 7 miles down the road from my house
@@NorthWestGuns hahah meant like 100 yards zero etc etc
My 338 is zeroed for 500 yards
@@NorthWestGuns What was your 500yd group size?
I subbed at Cyclops' request. Your incorrect pronunciation of Hornady (Horn-a-dee, not Horn-a-day) is already driving me nuts.
I'm sure it was a short drive.🙂
How is this rifle for $899?
It’s a good rifle I really enjoy it

Rl33 should be faster than retumbo. its fast but not very temp stable you drop around 1.5 or 2 fps for every degree of temp.
I’m getting better velocity’s with imr 8133 then I did with Reloader 33
@@NorthWestGuns how much faster
I was getting in in the mid 2700’s and I have to got out do some more chronographing because the Caldwell as deleted my data when the app updated.

The only other projectile that I have shot through mine would be the Hornady 230gr eld-x, I tend to stay toward the heavier projectiles.
medium or high scope rings for a scope with 56mm
I’m using Vortex precision rings 1.26 hieght

First time I hear someone describe a bolt action rifle as a single action.
It’s a single shot bolt action rifle I much prefer these when it comes to bigger calibers over magazine fed
@@NorthWestGuns Still not a single action, single shot and single action is not the same 🙂
You need some practice.
