Mine is the older ( first) model and it is 1:10....

 

[titus7]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Well I had one of the first one and I can honestly say that it is the only gun I ever regret selling. For the price you couldnt beat it. Now that finances are going a little better I would love to pick up another one if anyone knows where we can get them?????

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

This method sucks! Any better ways to measure twist!? </div></div>

You could always just cross cut the barrel open and then measure!

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

UPS freaking delivered mine an hour too late... My dealer had to go outta town today and just missed the truck I guess, so the guy next door has it... Oh well. I will pick it up on Monday and take plenty of pics for you guys. ( I scored mine from SCPX as well)

 

[titus7]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

How do you know what the build date is on these rifles??

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

[SavageStag]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Hopefully someone has them in stock for tax season, I think i might have to take the plunge.

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

GB still has them...

 

[Creature]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Anymore info on these? Anyone get theirs yet? Are the specs from SnipercountryPX correct(X-Mark Pro Trigger, BO DBM, etc.)?

 

[THUNDERBOLT68]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Why are none of you guys that have these rifles putting good pictures up. So, we can see bottom metal, fit and finish, etc...

[apache308]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Couple more pics

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

is the brake removable on these ? Would like to upgrade the brake for sure. Possibly a Fat Bastard or Little Bastard

 

[titus7]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

if its like the first edition of these rifles then yes it is threaded on. hard to tell though

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

my 2 ship Monday

 

[Ouch!!]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Hmmm

 

[Creature]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Apache308- Are those rifles from SnipercountryPX?

Does the bottom metal use Accuracy International mags or HS precision mags? Anyone know how much the mags are running?

 

[apache308]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Yes - these were from SCPX. Can't say on the mags - dunno. SR

 

[apache308]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Here's another shot of the brake. I "think" I can see a faint line about 1/2" back from the first port....I hope it is visible in the pic. I tried to remove the brake with LIGHT to MODERATE pressure by hand with a tight fitting piece of drill rod and could not make anything happen. The barrel was gently but firmly held in a vise with Brownell's red soft jaws. Whether or not it comes off I cannot say without further info from the manufacturer or really getting on it. Like I said I am not sure if this one will stay or go so I treat her gently. SR

 

[Creature]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Thanks for the info Apache, I just scored on of these and am trying to get the details. Looks like a very slick setup, can't wait to get mine. Too bad they didn't go with a longer barrel.

I think I secured a decent shooting spot in Northeast KS but am still looking if anyone has some land. I'm going to purchase some metal targets and a laser rangefinder, it'll be a blast. The 300yd range at CCGC isn't gonna cut it for this beast.

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

If ya'll don't stop jerkin off on the damn thing it'll be too sticky to shoot. Somebody please take it to the range and post some target pics... and none of that 100 yard shit either.

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

ya.. what he said !

 

[DogboneS]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

There wouldn't happen to be rifling out to the tip of the brake? That might tell if it is just a compensated barrel.

 

[Creature]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

From the looks of the pic it looks like it was threaded on. I swore I read a post somewhere where a guy took the break off of his. He said it was a real PITA to get off. I just spent 10mins looking for the damn thread but couldn't find it. I seriously doubt it's threaded to the tip of the break.

 

[Brians708]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Headed to pick mine up now... we are going to tear it down a little to see what's under the hood if you will. Pics by this afternoon

 

[Brians708]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Ok, here are the results.
Chrome moly action/ bbl
BBL is 6 groove 1:10 twist, 24"/ 25.5 with brake (measured from flash hole)
Muzzle is .825 dia
M-16 Style extractor.
Weighs 9.0 pounds
Box mag max length is, 3.790"
Brake thread is 5/8 x 24.
Scope base holes are 8x40
40x trigger for sure.
The brake is freaking hard to get off (had to apply heat )

Will have to call Remington to find out where to source additional mags.

I have numerous things to gather up over the next month so it will be Christmas before this thing gets shot. Will post then the results.

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

thanks a lot for the write up and pics !

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

maybe a 40XS brake

 

[762frmafr]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

well i got mine today as well.....the bolt is already in the mail to ushandgunner for a badger bolt knob install. now that i know for sure the brake is removable and what the threads are im going to order me a different one. also still waiting on my base from badger ordnance. should be here within the week. my a-5 should be here in 3-4 months from jw precision. it's badass as it sits just some things need doing.

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

</div></div>

Tried to measure mine with a cleaning rod and came up with 1:11 both times. </div></div>
i hope you and remington are wrong. i truly hope it is a 1:10 twist. </div></div>

I have a TRG 42 that does not have a 1:10, you dont need it. You can shoot 250 gr pills just fine. I have had mine out past 1200 yards with the 250, and it shoot great (better then I can make it go). Good stick man Grats.

yes 30 MOA. the base got here yesterday, and the nightforce is mounted and boresighted. i honestly could have gone with the 45 MOA base but the 30 will still get to the transonic region. i ordered a roedale brake this morning through the group buy. should be pretty sweet.

 

[Brians708]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Anyone figured out who makes the bottom metal... I am thinking of calling HS to see if they did... then remington as well.

 

[762frmafr]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

it's badger...got my brake off thanks to brians708. waiting for the roedale to come in now.

 

[81mike]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

So I just got my first 338 lapua in...the remington that we are all discussing here and surgeon shooter puts up a remedy...anyone have a spare doghouse?

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

you can come borrow mine.

I don't need it now.

My deal fell through. He did the "wrong invoice" Price increase trick...

I'll wait and see what I can find.

 

[Creature]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

So does Badger use 5rd AI .338LM mags then?

 

[THUNDERBOLT68]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

Who did the wrong Invoice trick.

 

[THUNDERBOLT68]

Re: Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

I did not think badger has that extra ckip piece on bottom metal.
