one week until I come home from deployment to this. Has the 338LM barrel that I’ll have my buddy clean the chamber up with a 33XC reamer.

I got one three years ago. Here's what I learned:
Store it with the stock closed. You'll need the room for a Kilo2400, bats and a can.
The muzzle brake is PERFECT to fab a QR can, study it, you'll see what I mean.
Get a Spuhr scope mount, it can be QR, but you'll re-zero everythime when its removed, it also has ant-cant.
Ammo was bad enough then (S&B 250 for 2.69 a round, $5 something for FM), good thing it doesn't take many.
5 & 8 round mags are perfect, Only get 1 or 2 20 rounders, defensive mags only from a kneel.
The scope..........god that's a chapter. The SF sniper I got it from said no S&B. Said his failed him on a mission. Those guys ARE superstitious.
I got a Valdosta Recon because i can dial down to 100M, then dial out to 1700M. AND, I can make out things in the shadows.
Where the BG's are. That 44mm tube is huge. Some guys on here don't like them because of past warranty issues.
Then there's NF, Leupold, Tangent Theta and Vortex but I have no experience on their High Power stuff.
