.338 Win Mag Opinons?

Post by EricTheBald »

I have a chance to buy a Howa in .338 Win Mag, presumably a 1500.

$800

I am considering it, but I wanted to seek input on it first.


Side Note:
It made me consider whether I'd rather buy a .338 LM, either a complete gun or a barreled action that I could drop into a stock/chassis.
Still wondering about that, but not really leaning one way or the other yet.

5 shots with mine, and I was very sore, I suggest a muzzle break of some kind if you get one.
