I didnt think I would ever sell this rifle, but I just dont see where I will be needing it and have several calibers that will do should the need arise.

I have spoke of this here before, but its a very fine rifle in all ways, accurate reliable, great trigger and one of the smoothest actions I have come across.
And at this time its very hard to find, I cant find any listed anywhere though I am sure one could be found if they spent enuf time looking.

Bore excellent in the 25" bbl. Rifle excellent overall.

Anyway here is a few pics, I have more if someone wants to see something specific, condition is excellent, never hunted, one owner, me, bought NIB. Comes with box, papers, ring bases and 40 pcs of new R-P brass for reloading.

Looking for $1150 shipped via USPS Ground insured. Always entertain trade offers. Must of course ship to an FFL and if your FFL wont accept from non FFL with DL for ID, find another FFL, PITA to take it to one on this end and it would cost buyer another $100 to do.

Post an 'I'll take it here" and follow with a PM to arrange the sale. Questions welcome but first to post here buys it.

Thats a hot deal
 
Very nice rifle at a very fair price and in my favorite cartridge. The .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM cartridge IS becoming more and more difficult to find in good rifles. GLWS!
 
Nice rifle, if I did not already have a 338 Win Mag I would buy it. I love the 338 Win Mag as a caliber.

Good evening Sir.
I have been away for a bit, log on and one of my favorite rifles is here for sale..
Please send a PM and lets chat.

Likewise I've owned a few, a bit stout in the recoil dept but quite doable

This is the softest shooting .338 I have owned. Nice soft and thick pad.
 
Rifle is SPF, thanks!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
