Been thinking on buying one of those rifles. Top it off with either a US Optics or a Schmidt & Bender scope.

5-25x56 PM II/LP/MTC

U.S. OPTICS - ER-25

Hey bro. Try this website. Its pretty good and I think this would be about one of the cheapest 9mm ammo around.
Plus the shipping is already added to the total.

the gun I got from Cabelas and was $1,530 or something around that took it home the same day....they said that the reason we can take long range rifles home like this, is because its a different policy than handguns and smaller firearms like AK-47's exc.... I think (personally) it kicks less than my Remington 700 7mm Mag.

The Scope is a Vortex scope MOA mil-dot ....6x30x50

the scope is retailed for around $1,100 , I got it with the military discount so I got the scope a little cheaper, but that is the price regularly for it ... so all in all.......... 1500 + 1,100 =$2,600 or so in total. vs 8-10k for the barrett without a scope... that's one HELL of a bargain.

and if you think about it ....... $1,500 Lapua Magnum vs $9,000-10k Barrett and the Lapua shoots as far and is as accurate , but for 7.5k less, that's a bargain worth investing .:tup:

and the ammo, though still expensive ...not as expensive as the Barrett. I think with the Barrett it costs you around $20 a shot ..... the Lapua is $10 a shot.... I have a buddy that reloads his own shells ( has the same gun as I do, but its the 110 BA version instead of the 110 FCP ) and its cheaper to do it that way instead of buying new ones regularly , plus you know exactly what your shooting everytime versus say.... new bullets.

The USO scope is 30mm dia, and the S&B scope is 34mm dia. You need that big of diameter to shot long range. Each of these scopes have alot of vert adjustable of the crosshair. Have your zero set 100m. Then adjust the crosshairs out to 2000m+. There is enough room for movement for the crosshair. Also, USO makes it's own lens here in the US. ALL of the other scope makers buy their lens from Asia. S&B is German, and they make their own lens too.

I had put together a 300 Kong. Never did like shooting that rifle. That rifle was more about recoil management instead of trigger control. :shakes head: So I sold it for what I had in it. That last about year and a half ago. Figure I was done with rifles like that. Wrong, I got the bug again. :eek: Been researching the 338LM lately. Looking for one that I don't have to put much it to it. The Savage got my interest. Also looking at a few others. Remington with the aluminium chassis for one. But most of them are over 3 grand. So I'm still deciding. I reload, so the price don't bother me. But getting powder is another issue. I'm been on backorder for 8 months for 8lbs of TAC and ARComp for my AR's. :(

the Savage 110 FCP ( with the scope I have) is all in under 3k and as my brother told me yesterday through text message ( he has it on the military range) and said " the thing shoot fire!"

I have yet seen a bad review of the 338LM Savage. :)

the only thing I would say about it is that if you get the 110 BA .... the thing weighs 18 pounds! its a tank of a gun in weight . a brute.


one of the big reasons I went with the FCP :).......WITH the H&S Precision stock!........ ALOT lighter.......... go to a place that has both the 110 BA and the 110 FCP with the H&S precision stock, both are Magnum ..... feel the difference!

keep in mind when choosing optics for a firearm like the 338..... the optic has to be approved to be on a firearm like that,due to the amount of pressure and force after each shot. a regular scope on a 338, the scope would be knocked off center after every shot. because regular scopes cant handle the pressure.

so when choosing an optic for the 338 or any big firearm....make sure its APPROVED to handle the amount of pressure and force from the big firearm.

Oh, these are. :D
You want to kill a scope. The FN FAL in 308 will because of the heavy bolt going forward and slamming closed. It will pop the front lens out. LOL
