Savage makes a 338 Lapua?

[glock24]

Stumbled across this today. I didn't realize they had a 338 Lapua Magnum. I wonder if it is a new receiver, or if they crammed it into their current long action.

That loopy is sitting mighty close to the rifle

Hopefully its a nice gun... solid competition between manufacturers is always a good thing

I'm sure that they finaly have , the Savage reciever is as strong if not stronger than the Rem 700 (shallower threads) , I'm not exactly sure what the bolt heads are made from but its some pretty tough shit.

I know Kevin Rayhill has been building Lapua based rounds on Savages for years with no problems

Wow! If street price is under 2 grand, ...this should help a lot of shooters get into the 338 cartridge.

i don't think that is an actual picture, looks a little fake. But, I love Savage. They are pretty awesome. You always get excellent value.
