kidso Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Always a great accomplishment to tag a bear. In what unit did you harvest your sow? I assume you glassed her up, rather than brought her into range with a predator call? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZkiller Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Thanks. The rifle action is custom built by me. Based on a remington/nesica/lawton. BIG. I put a 32in Lilja barrel on it and chambered it in 338 snipe tac. Not built to shoot as close as I did, but I wasn't going to back up that's where she was. I have a McMillan A-3 stock, bedded topped with a 8.5-25 leupold lrt. I am pushing a 300gr Berger at 3100fps with 127gr of 50BMG. I can't wait to smack a whitetail with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were in 23S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reganranch Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Right on man with a 32 inch barrel I'm guessing its a 338 Lapua, and not a ultra, winmag ,edge or 338 standard cartridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
