savage 110 long range hunter in 338 Lapua
I've had my eyes on this one for over a decade, it's been a long time since I last looked at it, but finally pulled the trigger on buying it now that it can be had for around 1K--and includes several improvements over the original. Obviously a reloader's proposition since a box of ammo costs around 4 to $5 a pop. Not sure why factory ammo is so expensive, brass is expensive but you can still save something on the order of 50 to 75% reloading your own by my rough calculations. I know it will be shoulder-pounder to some degree being a 8.5 lb rifle; not something I'll want to shoot all day but I figure it can't be worse than my 375 Ruger which has no muzzle device and also is a lightweight rifle.
