Savage 116 Alakan Brush Hunter 338wm... first time out... meh

Well.... Since this is a necrothread, I will add more advice......

Is it possible that the weight of a 20 cartridge shell holder, a tactical flashlight and improvised bayonet system throwing off the weight and harmonics of your "bush gun"?.....
 
If you do choose Talley bases, they also make a ghost ring rear sight for their base. I actually prefer a one piece base so that I can optimize my eye relief and have greater latitude for locating the rings, which is especially beneficial with short tube scopes.
 
Since I started this thread long ago.. I have since sold the Rifle to a fellow CGNer.
The rifle shot well and did lots of bush walks, in the end.
I would buy another, just would like a better stock if I did.
I found the 338wm was not worth the extra oomph, in comparison to a 300wm in a performance aspect.
And yes. The rail got in the way of feeding. It was annoying. You guys win.
