Surgeon 338 for the Big Boys if your shooting squirrels the get the AI all day.View attachment 7359540
I guess the AXMC/SR would be good shooting squirrels with 338lm at 1000y+ (or any of the multitude of calibers it can shoot)Surgeon 338 for the Big Boys if your shooting squirrels the get the AI all day.View attachment 7359540
No kidding! I was under the impression that Surgeon was up there. I've got an LRP in 6.5 - was hoping to get a big boy for the occasional trip where you can really reach out heavy.Like a surgeon action vs a legit accuracy International?
There is no contest....AI all day ery day
AI
90% at 1000 and in?
Any magnum is a waste.
Got a 6.5 or even a 308.
Far more practical.

beautiful
Realistically the numbers are a bit higher than 90. I'm in S FL so I can't get to 1K plus as often as I'd like but with a build like this I'd definitely make the effort. I have an LRP and REPR in 6.5 - wanted to step it upAI

LOLI can imagine squirrel flipping with .338bigbenis would be like calling in ordinance drops: getting close will do the job.
Man that's nice. Double Strike chassis, right? Curious - do you think 338 has that large of an advantage over 300 norma?Surgeon 338 for the Big Boys if your shooting squirrels the get the AI all day.View attachment 7359540

338 LM AI hands down.Man that's nice. Double Strike chassis, right? Curious - do you think 338 has that large of an advantage over 300 norma?
Just watched a video of a 338 LM AI taking out 2 ground squirrels. Tyler from Mk Machining posted it.I can imagine squirrel flipping with .338bigbenis would be like calling in ordinance drops: getting close will do the job.

I'm not technically trained to decipher the data to judge what round is the best or has advantages over another . I shot a friends 338 off a bench on a duffel bag which I should of known not to do poor set up to say the lease with a light weight hunting rifle. Right before that I shot a 50 cal heavy rifle and wasn't very impressed because the weight of the rifle absorbed most of the recoil. So when they threw the 338 on the duffel bag figuring the recoil would be much less the the 50cal, pulled the trigger and thought I got kicked by a mule in the head.Stood up and was dazed for 20 seconds and a little scratch on my forehead from the scope actually felt like I took a good punch to the face. I was lucky the scope hit my head perfectly flat which I thought was the reason I wasn't cut open. So I had to have a 338 hair of the dog that bit me !!
Caliber and make of a rifle is all relative and one fact I do know is that I wouldn't want to stand down range with a dude who had a 16K rifle or an 1K rifle because I know both will hit center mass with equal enthusiasm. Fat wallets don't make you a marksmen but it does let you buy the best thats out there.
Ouch!! Pretty funny I told you so though lolBack story on my friends 338 , he's retired Marine owns insurance company loaded to the gills . He shoots and hunts all over the world has a private jet and everything. So he's at this club on a hunt and a friend asked to use his rifle so my buddy sure and starts to explain the rifle to him about the kick so the guy goes off about he's shot everything under the sun you don't have to explain anything to me. So that night my buddy is at the bar before dinner when all the guys meet up his friend walks in with 17 stitches around his eye, the scope bit him but good. My buddy goes "I told you".
I have owned 5 Surgeon actions. Never a issue. Built like a tank. Not sure where the rumor started that Surgeon is garbage?I thought the general consensus was to stay away from Surgeon. You might end up with a brick.
I really don't know personally. First I'm hearing of it but then again I haven't looked at bolts in a few years tbhI have owned 5 Surgeon actions. Never a issue. Built like a tank. Not sure where the rumor started that Surgeon is garbage?
