Hey alll. I finally got to fire 5 rounds out of the Savage 110 BA. 338 Lapua mag. Man I have always wanted one,but now I have to get one. What a rush. Now we were only shooting at 200 yards,but 5 shots in 3/4 inch. The damn thing kicks like a mule ( love it ). This rifle is not for the recoil sensative people for sure. What I liked the most is, I can't shoot off a bipod for nothing,but this thing on a bipod was so heavy that it was as solid as a rock on the table all the way up till you pulled the trigger.:D. I am not sure if it was the size of the cartridge or the tear your shoulder off kick that I liked the most,all I can say is if you get the chance to shoot one of these monsters,go for it. It is a experience I will never forget. Everything about this rifle says Heavy Duty. Even closing the bolt was like pushing a weight. I have shot numerous 50 cal's, but they did not compare to this thing. I wish all you guys that have not could get a chance at something like this. 5 shots and my shoulder felt like it was hit by a sledge hammer. You walked away with the feeling of-- Damn now that's a rifle. Kind of gives you a power feeling in a way.

I'll be getting a 338 Lapua some day . Most likely the Savage . I was thinking , with the muzzle break the recoil would not be so bad . The way your talking I'm not sure I want the shoulder problems . I guess I'll need to shoot one before I buy it as well . When I go shooting I like to shoot a bunch and if the rifle becomes more of a chore then fun . I don't want any part of it .
 
I couldn't say more about the savage 110ba 338 lapua! It is my main go to rifle! The recoil is really sharp but not too bad, one thing I did to mine was get rid of that hard rubber butt pad and installed a gel type pad from the barrett M98b 338 lapua. I can shoot this puppy all day now! Actually I think I was around the 20-25 shot mark when my teeth were starting to feel the jolts from the recoil, but it's not often you run a 20-25 round string with the 338 lapua. Oh yeah the savage bad a$$ is very accurate too, Iv'e shot 1 mile out to 2530 yards with outstanding results. If your even thinking about buying one just DO IT! You won't regret it one bit!!
 
Metal God-- It had a muzzel brake :D. The recoil was great. I shoot my 308 all day and gets to where you don't even feel it. This baby was just a solid whap on the shoulder.

Maybe ( Power thing ) was a strong word to use. It just left you with a feeling you were shooting one big rifle that you could reach out and do some real serious longggggg range shooting. Complete with Nightforce 12-42 scope.

Grizzdude-- I have watched and also commented on your videos.. Awesome shooting you do. PS- I wanted this rifle before I saw your vid's ha ha
