Man this was a tough decision! I think I've shot more dang .338's lately than any man ever needs too. I have a gun range the carries several and I can rent them.
The final four were:
1. McMillan Tac-338
2. Weatherby Mark V Tacmark
3. Sako TRG 42
4. Barrett MRAD
In the end the Weatherby won out. I ordered it and it should be here next week sometime.
The Weatherby won because I could get it with the 28" Flutted FN barrel and the B&C Stock that I happen to like a lot. I love the Mark V 9 lug actions and I also love all of my other Weatherby's.
The MRAD was a close second because of the interchangeable barrels but I already have most the other calibers so it wasn't a big advantage after all. The Sako was right there in the running until I saw how many were available used on Gun Broker and other sites. Somethings making people sell them so on that alone I opted out. The McMillan was a close call too. I liked it but I could not get a good cheek weld on the stock. At the price they're asking it didn't make sense to buy something and then end up modifying it just to be able to shoot it.
I'll get a review up on the Weatherby with some range shooting pics/video in the near future.
