The beast is back

[FireInTheWire]

Just got the 338 back from getting some Cerakote laid out on it. They did a great job! Props out to West Texas Ordinance.

Now waiting on the Hybrid to get cleared so I can start flinging Abrahams down range again.

Very nice, they did a good job.

Looks good.

Any before pictures? Information on the rifle and scope?

Rifle is a Savage 10/110 FCP HS Precision. 338LM
Scope is just a temp. I'll be running another Burris XTR II, 8X‑40X‑50mm F-class for it.
I have only shot 2 boxes out the rifle. It's ungodly loud. It will remain on the shelf until I can get a can on it. It's expensive to shoot... But I really enjoy it for what it is designed to do.

Nice. Had a 110 BA in 338 Lapua and it was a great rifle.

Why had, and not have?

Why had, and not have?

I rotate a lot. I didn't have the room or finances to keep everything I had and get different firearms.

Ah, I don't "rotate", I just let it languish in the safe, lol....

I've been wanting one of their Evolutions. I think its a cool rifle. But good lord... were does it stop? New rifle then gotta get glass and I gotta cerakote everything I get. Where does the madness end?

My next purchase will be an Evolution. Had a Stealth and the Evolution is set up a little better. Spending big money on glass too.

It ends at the property line.

You'll have to let me know the pros and cons of the set up. Looking forward to seeing it

This is true

It might be death... from the wife.

Will do.

I held one the other day. I like the PRS stock and the fore end over what the Stealth has.

The Stealth's open top barrel can show a lot of mirage in the scope as the barrel heats up. The Stock on the Stealth is junk too. Better fit for a battle rifle.

May be a few months before I buy but hopefully the manufacturers will come out with more 6mm Creedmoor options for componants and ammo.
