The biggest advantage the Ruger has is it's not a Savage. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Meanwhile a Savage Stealth runs about $1400 in .338 Lapua and also uses detachable mags. Having shot the Savage I would want to see tiny groups from the Ruger to be interested. |

I currently have an RPR 6.5 with a Gen 2 PST on it. I have a SiCo Omega 300 in jail. I have regular access to a 600 yard range at my club and there is a 1000M in the state that I can go to several times a year. I see that I have 3 options:
1. Do nothing. 2. Sell the 6.5, buy the .300WM and use the same scope and can. 3. Buy the LaPoopa, new glass and keep both. I really just want a LaPoopa in my collection, but if I were to start doing competition (which I plan on) then I don't know that .338 is the best option. By the way, I'm going to bet that anyone bashing on the RPR has just never shot one. Nothing about the rifle is crap. Okay, the stock is marginal. I plan to replace mine with a Magpul PRS but that's just a personal preference thing. |

How about a .375 Lapua Magnum Improved? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
Debating the 338 since I heard of it last week. My 6.5 does 99.5% of what I want it to. Has some issues after 1400 yards...but it gets me out to 1400. Not sure if I can justify 6ish grand in a rifle just to shoot a mile, without going right to 50bmg. The 50s aren't legal here anymore. So for a big bada boom, I might do a 338 LaPoopa. Won't fit that action, however. How much gunpowder will the .338 Lapua Improved case hold? |

I would talk to this guy..nobody knows more about the edge cartridge(and thus the rum).... http://www.defensiveedge.net It will be interesting to see if the aftermarket barrel makers pick up the Magnum RPR, like they did with the short action RPR. Places like LRI makes tons of barrels for the RPR. |

The 338 Win is probably the most well balanced cartridge out there... Just like a big brother to 30-06. I want to go shoot now.

How about the first one in 300 PRC from Proof then? Fixes the OAL issue, no stupid belt and load bullets loooong. I'm hoping Ruger releases one at SHOT in PRC, it is going to be the 6.5 Creedmoor of magnums after all.
