I took my custom 338LAI to Africa, where it got bounced about in the Landcruiser for 2 weeks and successfully killed everything I aimed it at.
If I owned an ATV would not hesitate to take the rifle where it needed to go.
Why would you figure a custom would be less durable than a production rifle?
Is that the one living in my safe now ??
If so it just keeps working better than ever...
However, I do find it a bit heavy to carry lately so now I might start looking for a younger, stronger wife to pack it around.![]()
Does your lovely wife ever read these posts?She may have some slightly different ideas and plans, I would recommend sleeping with all eyes open

No you had that 1 prior to the May 2007 African adventure, which is why it has so few marks on it
Actually it landed in my hands Apr.26/08.
The very first time I cleaned it a tuft of what seemed to be Eland hair fell out of the muzzle brake.
No worries about my Dear Wife....I only joke, we are together forever.
Sorry for the hi-jack Mattmoser...
Gunboy, I am curious if you have ever fired a 338 Lapua rifle? Also curious if you have ever reloaded for 338 Lapua.

Probably not as he is always too busy shooting off other things, but for true expert internet advice on everything he has never owned , he is a man outstanding in his field.

Last night I hammered 50 rounds at 700, 850, and 975. Today I shall reload 115 rounds.
Future shooting will be focused upon filling in the gaps between 700 and 1000 in 25 yard increments and building a drop sheet. (I may opt for 10 yard increments, time, patience and weather permitting).
Some day I might own one for a Chin up bar.
