454 Casull in a Taurus? If you were going to go that route, I'd go with a Ruger Super Blackhawk instead. Ruger's been building rock solid 'thumb busters' for decades.

Nice. I've read lots of good things about the Lapua, it does tend to be a bit pricey on the factory ammo side. I'd love to have a good bolt gun in 338 Lapua or 50 BMG; it's just hard to find places to shoot them here in Kansas. Not many ranges with a mile of clear space, especially near the city.

yea ammo is pretty pricy for it, im going to be reloading it myself.

I hear ya on the range part lol my grandfathers has 80 acres that we hunt/shoot/sight guns in on and the portion im shooting this at, is around 490-500 yards ( buddy did a range find on it)

its also pretty heavy ( 18 pounds with the scope exc)

its hard for me to find any LEFT handed guns anywhere lol and the ones I do find I want, are in right, and I have to " special order " them upping the price lol

this is the one im ordering.

Savage 110 BA L.E. Left Hand Bolt Action Rifle .338 Lapua Mag 26" Barrel 5 Round Capacity Synthetic Stock Matte Black with AccuStock and AccuTrigger 19971

Going indoors tomorrow. Snow forcasted. Gonna sight in my KPOS pistol carbine conversion. Inside of it is a Glock 17. My 700 Remy is at the gunsmith being modded and massaged. Just got a CSA VZ58 and I'm pimping it out. Changed the furniture, waiting on a brake and butt stock and more mags. Btw, it eats 7.62x39. And....I have a new semi .308 "Modern Hunter" being made. Should be ready in February.

The ammo safe is down to under 5k rounds.....gotta stock up!

Looks interesting. I'd like to see one 'live' and shoot it to see how it performs. I'm not a big fan of lasers, however, on a pistol with no sights, some kind of 'aiming device' would be helpful, even if it just functions as 'hey, the target is here'.

Ooooo. I got some new toys!

First is a FAB Defense KPOS pistol carbine conversion. With a Glock 17 inserted inside, I now shoot this out to 100 yards.



Second is a CSA VZ58 in 7.62x39 with FAB Defense furniture and shock absorbing butt-stock. The red dot is a Bushnell TRS25. The only thing left to add is the muzzle brake which is coming from Israel.



....I have a semi-auto "modern hunter" being made. Chambered in .308 and has the looks of an AR. Pics will follow when it's done in February. The Remy 700P is being worked on....bedding, new bottom metal with drop mags, muzzle brake, and truing.

Still going to the range although the outdoor range is hard when it's cold. More updates to follow.


Edit: Almost forgot the commie rifles. A black Russian SKS clothed in ATI and a Chinese SKS original. Both in 7.62x39.

Does that require a stamp / NFA hassles? That's pretty slick and I've got extra Glocks.
