I have a 06 and 300WSM I've picked up through the years, both were sub MOA rifles and I have been pleased. I hear MRC is seriously hit or miss on quality and have never owned a Ruger I was happy with, is there any other option in CRF. Is my best bet to continue to hunt one on the web like my great white whale.


I wish Ruger made a left hand 338WM. I would have bought one a long time ago. They don't even make a left hand 338wm Hawkeye. I've never owned an RCM, but I've always been a little intrigued. Still that's not a WM... welcome to the fire... Your options are as follows:

1. Winchester model 70 left hand classic.
2. MRC left hand.
3. Custom barreled Ruger m77.
4. Zastava model 70 left hand. I'm not sure if they chambered one in 338WM, you'd have to find out.

That is my pet peeve if you do not like something that is for sale express that via PM ! Or a lo ball offer !

RGR you made my Ignore list!

Utah you had a lot more than that in parts re-barrel is over $650 in 17.

Buy one of the Ruger Alaskan 375 Ruger and rebarrel it. I did that and made a 330 Dakota, but other options would be the 338-375 Ruger or even the 338 win. mag. Could be all in for barely over $1000

Went down the same road as KenMi and really happy with my 338WM with Douglas barrel. The rifle is around 9 lbs and has a recoil reducer and limbsaver which makes it a pleasure to shoot from the bench.The Balance with a 22" barrel is great Hope this pic works..

Just get a LH Zastava in 375 H&H and be done with it. Mine shoots 5 shots into .600 at 100 easily, out of the box, no tinkering except adjusting a creepy trigger. Feeds and works flawlessly. No, it's not for sale.

Zastava M70 has not been available in .338 WM., It is a definite rebarrel proposition.
Your best bet is to get a Ruger and rebarrel for the money.

That's a beauty. It really pizzes me off that Ruger never made a LH 338WM....
