I found a rem700 police 338 lapua for $1500. Is this a deal I should jump all over. Or is it worth passing. Ive only seen two of these as a private sale in years.

the gun is just a tool, .....it makes sense to be able to air it out in a place beyond 1000yd.....

Re: 338lapua advice
Is it new, if so it's not a bad price. I'd watch the classifieds here as I have seen better prices if your willing to buy used and they usually have some upgrades.

It's had 75 rnds shot. Come with a 30moa rail, extra brake, and a fluted bolt (not sure if that's standard

Dude! I've heard so many problems with those rem 700's. Spend a couple hundred extra and get a Savage 110 BA .338 lapua. Now that is a gun to jump all over for the price! Good luck!

You still need to figure in the costs to feed that beast.
If economy is a consideration 338 Lapua is not the caliber you should be looking at.

Why kind of problems have you heard of. I had the chance on a savage, but the BA version is 5lbs heavier then the Remington.
As far as the price to feed it, I just got rid of my 300RUM, so I feel the pain of the magnum shooters (plus I'd reload anyway).

Re: 338lapua advice
1500 is a little steep for a used one. But my buddy has one that shoots very well.

True, the Savage is a great gun, but it is a beast! Carrying the Savage 110 BA in the field is a no-go. I use my Rem 700 338lm for hunting and it works great.
And...$1500 is a little steep, just my opinion.
Here's my Rem 700 338lm on a Manners!

Re: 338lapua advice
Thanks guys. I think I'll pass on it and wait for a better deal. I definitely want a 338, but my MATEN will keep me busy until I get one.
