Had a .338 Fed built on a Ruger 77 RSI in about '06 or so. I've shot a few deer with it, and carried it a lot in general, I just plain like it. Got a good price on a synthetic/stainless 77 Hawkeye .338 Fed; bought it for bad weather. Have shot a whitetail buck and a muledeer buck with it, and it seems to work really well too. Think I'll keep them both for the long haul -- they seem to have the parts and pieces.

Shot with two different versions of .338 Fed chambers, and they both seem to work out nicely. I eat a quite a lot of venison these days taken with these rifles, and it is pretty good... smile
