Savage FCP HS Precision 338 under centerfire/law enforcement.
Probably buying the 300 win mag version of that same rifle as soon as it comes out. I cant really figure why I would need a 338 over 300 win mag. way too expensive if you dont reload, and even if you reload, costs more powder, and no cheap bullets like they do for the 30 cal.

bought one my self, like it alot but after 2 boxes of the hornady 258 match, cases are getting stuck in chamber and i just herd back from the store i picked it up at, the other rifle that came in with mine is having the same problem.
there is a noticable ring around the primer on the spent case. over pressure? maybe i dont know if any one has any ideas please let me know.

You need not worry about the primer flowing back around the firing pin. That just means the hole in the bolt face is a little larger then the firing pin. When you start loosing the shadowing around the edges of the primer, you're seeing pressure.
Sticking in the chamber will reflect marks on the brass if there are any imperfections from the reemer.

I have that same scope that was on my Remington 338 before I sold it.
Stood up to 116 rounds before selling the rifle. Keeping the scope to maybe put on a 308 to get out to 1 mile.

Hey Max, good to hear you like yours, I was a little concerned ordering it. How far out will it reach and still be accurate?
Picked it up today at cabelas in Winnipeg for 1349$ had 2 instock was between this and a 10BA .308 for 1450$
I think you made a great choice! I much prefer the HS stocks over the Savage aluminum chasis used on the BA series.
Wow, $1350 for a 338LM! I'm not sure how good this particular rifle is performance wise but that's a decent price to get started in the Lapua cartridge. At one time the Remington 338's were selling for 1200 bucks and now I see they're creeping close to $1900+...
