338WM factory iron sighted w/detachable mag??

[emerson]

Title is the requirements. Stainless synthetic is better than
wood and blued. No custom work, no aftermarket parts, must
meet the requirements listed in the title. Don't ask, it's a
corporate thing... What are the options out to fill this need?
Anyone have negative experience to offer about any of the
options? Thanks for your time.

I can only think of Browning Bar and Benelli R1 but they're semi don't recall anyone make a bolt gun in that caliber with a detach mag with iron.

Tikka make rifles in 338wm with detach mag but not sure if they have iron sight or not maybe someone will chime in with more suggestion.

Sako Brown Bear would be close to perfect. Closer if you consider a laminate stock to be synthetic.

Sorry, I guess a Sako Kodiak would be even closer if stainless and laminate fill the bill.

Blaser R8.

Mauser 03.

in the old time Sauer will make a barrel in 338 win mag but no more.

for tikka yes it can be done but not sure if the synthetic barrel will be tailored by Sako to compete any of their Bears collection ....

Sako kodiak, brown bear, or bavarian.

If you want to spend more, the Sauer 202 hybrid or elegance comes with DM, sights, and in 338wm.

Yes Sauer for a 338 win mag they re making each a special run may worth the wait ....

so there is a nice choice of differents for the OP task ...

Curious about the corporate requirement.

I have a Rem 700 BDL DM in 338 WM...came with irons. Works great! It's blued w/walnut stock.

If memory serves, Epps had a number of T3 Lites 338WM (with irons) in their inventory 2-3 years ago.

Sako Kodiak or Black Bear as mentioned gets my vote

I'm thinking I will recommend the same. I originally expected
the requirement to be 308 so more inexpensive options would have
been available. 338 is a better fit for the task though.

You can always lose a detachable mag.
My Model 700 Classic came with Iron Sights but they were removed.
My low cheek bones are in considerable pain following only a few shots with irons.
I often said if I could only have one rifle it would be a 338 Win Mag.

The detachable mag requirement will stay I think. Think minimal
training and multiple users.

You mean the Sako Kodiak, or Brown Bear . While the Sako Black Bear is an amazing little rifle in 9.3x62 (20 inch barrel and 40.3 inches overall), it does not come in .338 WM
