When I’m browsing the rack at my buddy’s shop I catch myself acting like a girl at the dog pound trying to save every sad eyed puppy in the kennel. My name is BCLC and I have a problem. Now.....somebody please give a logical reason to not pick up a M70 338WM Classic Stainless dressed in factory walnut instead of Tupperware. We all know how big the whitetail get in central Alabama and I’ve been needing a new squirrel gun.

Cause it'll cost you $50 and a headache to shoot a box of ammo through her.
You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?

I've always wanted a model 70. may get one but it will be 300 wsm or 300 win mag if I do. If I can find a real good deal on a old beater it will turn into a custom 338-06

.338!kicks too fracking much is why I wouldn’t do it. Now if it were a .308, 7-08, .243, 6.5, it’d be different...

Pussy. Buy it. 338 win mag is the best you can buy. Let me know if you need a few recipes to make that girl sing.

I wonder how fast you could get a lightweight one running near max load? Could be a fine long range deer stomper. Hydrostatic shock is no joke - anything over about 2600 fps at impact does a heck of a number on light to medium living things. Not as good for bears/lions/buffs.
Holy snot. Mule deer on 24 hour campfire was running some 160 tsx to 3400+. That's cooking and booking for a big chunk of metal.

I run a 225 gr Accubond at 2860 FPS in my 338 win mag. Very accurate, 1/2 MOA and that bullet has a .550 BC. This load is good for any deer or antelope in the world.
Load it with a 250 gr partition and you have plenty of gun for any critter that can fight back on this continent and all but the biggest critters on the dark continent.
Other than a 375 H & H magnum, there is not a more versatile or capable cartridge in the world.

Don't do it BCLC! Way to much recoil for a small framed feller like yourself I am a little fella...or at least that’s what I keep hearing my ol’ lady say... “Poor little fella......” I made an offer on her because I like big butts and I can not lie. Something about that combination of stainless and walnut

So how does it shoot? Poor BCLC and me have the same problem. We were built on a small frame. We just can’t handle these big ole guns! I have been pounding the ensure and protein powders but just can’t keep the weight on! Wish I knew what it was to realize my 2XL shirts don’t fit anymore! Oh to not be forced to shoot the 6.5 creedmoor anymore!! Wishful thinking!

You're going to have to clear out the safe. You don't want your new purchase bumping those inferior calibers.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

When I go into a gun store I feel like Mel Gibson in that conspiracy theory movie were he had to buy that book. I try to at least wait 3-5 days before purchasing, unless it's a good deal.
