Myself, if I was going to build a 338 Lapua rifle I would go big or go home. I am currently waiting on a PGW Timberwolf action that is being modified for 300WM. 338 Lapua is only allowed at one range that I know of in Ontario so I didn't want to spend that kind of money on a rifle that I couldn't use very much.
Why not continue to save and get a PGW action? Very pricey but well worth it.

I'm building mine on a P-14 action.

There is also Francis Gaulin from Armtech that build his own actions.
He has model from 6ppc to 50 BMG

only one range?? ..well i shoot it at guelph, shoot it at twin city, shoot it at mon's range i know canaught and i believe kingston as well alow it still, hell ive touched off a few rounds at colby indoor range!??!
looots of ranges to use it at!.

I was told that only the Range at Borden allows .338 That's too bad. Oh well I can hardly afford the rifle I am building let alone the cost of .338 Lapua ammo.

 

[RockChucker]

I'm sure a BRNO CZ550 action would be perfect for the Lapua cartridge.

Borden will allow .338 but I don't think Connaught will allow it. Kingston is not templated for it.

I hope you have it in hand

I have just seen a e-mail from the Canadian BR team site where Dakota Arms/Nesika has filed for bankruptcy protection. If you do not have the action I would do some serious inquiring if you have dished any money out.

If affordable is one of your criteria forget about the .338 Lapua altogether. There are cheaper big .338's that will work well.

 

[Ian Robertson]

338lm was not allowed at Connaught but I see from the "range standing orders" that they now do "with permission from range control".

In other words forget it unless you are one of the blessed.

 

[daniellybbert]

I already got it and its getting put together as we speak

 

[Unsub]

I heard 338 was 6 bucks a cartridge

 

[bronco_mudder]

I don't know what factory ammo is worth, I've never bought any. But if you're reloading it doesn't come anywhere close to that.

 

[dan belisle]

$9 a round for factory ammo, I bought one box to chroney and compare to handloads. that was a few years back though. Mine is on a Sako TGR-S. - dan
