Well, I bought one of these in .338 Win Mag left handed. At first look it's obviously gonna kick like a mule. That's not to big a problem because the LOP is 13 1/4 - 13 1/2 and a new recoil pad is needed and the bolt functions a little rough.

First, off with the recoil pad. The Pachmeyer prefit pad fits like a glove and made the LOP 14 1/2 with the supplied spacer. Starting to look good. Then Leupold rings and bases and a Vari II 3-9 x 40mm (in black). This is fun and starting to shape up. Now some graphite lube on the bolt and rails, work the bolt a few hundred times and it's really taking shape.

Considering the budgeted amount of money I have into this gun, I have more than my monies worth. It looks great (pictures to follow) functions well, fits good now and soon on to the range.

I started out looking to put together a foul weather gun. I came up with one that seems to do it all very inexpensively.
