338 Federal?

[V-Max]

Anyone still producing rifles in this caliber? There was a number of them a few years ago, but not so much anymore--unless I'm missing them.

 

[pharaoh2]

Your missing them. I think all the rifles that we're available then are still available now.

If you get a Nemesis Vanquish 308 rifle you can buy a 338 Federal barrel... JP.

All but the Ruger M77.

I bought a reamer and was planning on making a couple savage bbls but have not got to it yet.

Your right. They have their own .338 to push now.

Tikka.

Sounds interesting. Will Savage bbls fit a Marlin XS7? I've heard they use the same bbl nut.

could be cut/threaded to fit if they don't already, not sure on marlin bbl pitch/diameter

You shouldnt have a problem finding a Ruger Hawkeye in .338F.

I just read an article in 'Canadian Firearms Journal' about the DPMS Panther Arms LR-338L. An 'AR' type rifle built as a big game rifle .... I was rather intrigued and went looking ..... seems Wolverine carries DPMS, but not this specific rifle .... maybe they'd order it in. I better go check the piggy bank

Being built on an AR platform, it's probably not a big seller in Canada unless you can find a restricted range that has wildlife and allows hunting. Kinda like buying a restricted Benelli M4 for bird hunting.

Sako still amkes them. Check out their new Black Bear. Open sights 21" fluted semi-match barrel. synthetic stock. Retails around $1900.

I'm sitting in my bear stand with my Sako 85 grey wolf .338F as we speak . 200 grain Hornady SP over 47 grains of 8208XBR should work.

Put your phone down would you? Or at least give me your number and I'll call you that last half hour of legal light.

 

[Amphibious]

On your phone while you're hunting? Ugh, the spirit of the sport is dying... Of course you're baiting and sitting in a tree, so it's not like you're really hunting...

this is high tech hunting .
