My....friend's new .338 Lapua

[orkan]

You're preaching to the choir orkan

Your baby doesn't mind the noise?

See that 10" baseball bat on the end of my barrel? That helps with noise. Also, she's got cotton in her ears. She throws a FIT when I don't let her come shoot with me. Daddy's little girl.

Well I got that, I just assumed that a .338LM even suppressed is still pretty loud.

Yeah but it's a tactical baby, get 'em started early.

WAIT HOLY CRAP DOES THAT STROLLER HAVE A SUNROOF?

Damn straight. My little girl rides in style!

338 suppressed isn't noticeably louder than my 308.

I think we will just have to learn on his own.



Unless you are rich you cannot afford to NOT reload that caliber.


My guess is the BSA scope will break in under 100 rounds. I saw one shake apart on a M249 after Private DumbAss thought he'd be cool and put that POS on his machine gun. A 338 recoils much harder than an M249.

EuroDriver, is that gun from Rays or not? I see your from Tampa, but that place sure looks similar to Rays.

Orkan- At least set up the video recorder so she can help you call out hits or misses...



If the shooting buddy doesn't have a flinch, he'll get one now.

I was trying to think of a silver lining- like someone is going to get a real deal on a 338LM soon in the future, but its a Savage, meh.

AH-HA!!!- silverlining/something good----- he could have gone full retard and gotten a fiddy cal.

No, its not Rays. Its a shop in St. Petersburg.

The scope part of it may end up being self-solving, but I agree. If he has fun shooting it, great. Try not to be a complete killjoy if he has terrible results shooting it.

Maybe have him get some of the PPU .338. Probably not tack driving stuff, but that probably doesn't freaking matter at 50yds.

All told, this is still helping the economy of scale for when I do buy a LM.

Those BSAs track well. He'll be rocking the 15 hundo with no effort!

Where can you even shoot that far in FL? I thought you guys were land locked and stuck engaging in short range match homodom if you wanted to shoot.
