Default Factory rifles in 338 Lapua

The caliber for shooting at extra long ranges is certainly 338 Lapua but who makes the absolute best/accurate factory rifles chambered for this caliber?

For under 2K savage make the 110 FCP HS Precision 338 Lapua.

Don't know if its the best but they seem to hold their own.

Sako builds s good one , and slthough Savagevis frowned upon by many info cannot refute the accuracy of them ,
Many new shooters on our 1K range are using them with great results .

The 338 and 300 RUMS fo well too.
Lots of semi customs out there as well.
Personally If I were looking at a rifle chambered 338 and had the cash I would probably talk to Karl and the guys at KS Arms and get them to scratch build one for me however bring on a pension, I would likely just buy a Savage and happily shoot it !
Lucky for me I do not have a hankering for big cartridges anymore!

Sako trg probably will probably cost more than going custom!

Accuracy international and or pgw would be higher quality than the sako possibly.

Barrett as well

Savage will hold its own accuracy wise if you ask me. Shot one of their .223s and 7mm08 and both are lights out.

Im sure remington has one out there too

Most of these if not all will be chassis style rifles and will be priced 5k+ and the cost to shoot them, going custom is an option for sure.
