Timberwolf .338 Lapua
Verfasst: Fr 23. Jul 2010, 11:09
I'd first heard of the .338 when the Canadians went to it years ago and I thought nothing of it. Arrogantly assuming my issued .300 WINMAG was on par, and if it wasns't I could make up the difference in performance. Boy, was that ever the wrong thought! I first got to shoot it about 2 years ago when some Canadian snipers came down to run the yard lines. My first impression was, well, impressed. Still, only 20 or 40 rounds really is not enough to make the call.
Recently, thanks to Larry's personal collection and us being on a T.V. show about guns, I got to shoot it for about 3 days and 250 or so rounds. I will admit that months ago I selfishly suggested the Tiberwolf for an episode, secretly hoping I'd get a lot of time on it.
I can say now without question it's the best sniper rifle I've ever seen, shot or heard of(of course, having Schmidt & Bender's 5 to 25 on top ain't hurting) It weighs in at only 3lbs more than a Remington 700! The benefits of the Lapua .338 are well worth 3 lbs. .338 to .308 is almost like comparing .308 to 5.56. It flys that flat, with many .50 cal traits in tow without the agony of the BMG.
