Well, I made a deal with my dad this weekend so it WILL now be my 338. He's had two 338s for years, a Remington 700 that my mom gave him and this Sako, and I asked if he'd be willing to part with the Sako. He told me he'd always considered it mine and that I could pay him when I could. He named a price and gave me great terms - whenever I can pay him. Thanks dad.
