Just been catching up and what's the deal with the new 338? Anyone got any good info, or have bought one and used it?
Check over on Marlin Owners Forum ..lotz of Buzz there..
A friend bought one and he loves it
Where's the ammo for it ?
Any available ??
I have deceided that my very next lever gun is going to be in the .338 cal! I have always like the .338 caliber for big game and I know a lever gun in that caliber will give the extra range for those shots across the been and corn fields.
Try packing a lever action around the woods for awhile. Once you do that, it will be hard to carry a bolt action rifle again. I have a 338 and have not bloodied it yet, but sure like it. Great packing gun.

try buying ammo for it IFyou find any it is premo priced and scarer then hen's teeth
Yes, the lever guns are light as a general rule and very fast to shoulder, however once you put a rifle scope on the lever you lose a lot of that great feel of the lever gun and why it was made the why it was in the begining.
I really hated putting a rifle scope on my 1895 .444 Marlin but I had to inorder to see things out passed 40 yards. Anyway if I get a .338 lever gun, I will have to put a scope on the rifle so I can see to shoot that big buck.
