[QUOTE="kamml, post: 4951442, member: 20373"] Well I thought that since Davidson didn't list the 338 Hog Hunter as a Win Mag it must be a listing for a Federal. I didn't pick up on the 111 designation that I know means a long action. That was the give away. So I got-ended up with the WIn Mag. But you are right its a fine cartridge and I can load it down to minimize the recoil. Curious, this is the first 111 I have seen with a blind mag. I am going to swap it over to a Boyd's long action At 1 stock I have on a built 111 Savage I put together with a heavy 6.5 cm barrel years back. I built the rifle for long range work with a Bison Works 26" tube but never really got in to it like I thought I would. Later I bought a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa) 6.5 cm that is a great shooter, so I never went back to the custom 6.5. Now I can put that adjustable stock to good use and its a quite a bit heavier than the Tupperware Hog Hunter stock too. That will help with the recoil. [/QUOTE]
