Old news.
Fred leaked it a couple months ago. ;D
I'm already saving my $$.
Maybe Kirby will start selling Allen Magnum prefits. ;D ;D ;D
That Savage has plans on chambering the .338 Lapua soon.
I know that some of you here are in good with some of the good folks at Savage.
So, who knows what and who's talking???

Thats good news for lots of people here that will like to upgrade our 338 Edge to a diferent level.
From what I have gathered Savage plans to have a few interesting new things this up coming year.
[ALLEN MAG] if your going to be a BEAR, you might as well be a GRIZZLY!!! :D
Are they making a larger action to handle it? I know some people have made 338 lapua's on Savage actions but I have heard it's really pushing the edge of the safety margins for the size of the action and barrel?
Must have missed that thread.Originally Posted by geargrinder
I remember earlier this year there being a rumor about a .50BMG on a Savage action, but it just so happened that that thread was started on April Fool's if I remember right?
What do you remember Fred saying about this project that Savage is jumping into?
Pheeewwwwww...The prospect of a Kirby prefit Allen Mag barrel....That's going to get me in some hot water if that ever comes to fruition. Man....that would be sweeet!! Guess I'll start moving my stuff into the garage ;D.Originally Posted by geargrinder

I think it will be cool having a large Savage action capable of handling the Lapua round. It will probably be able to handle rounds based on the 378 weatherby case as well.
DGD6MM,
you're gonna need to sell that GregTan 300 Lapua before any Allen Mag comes your way ;D
well ain't ya?

I might skip the Allen Mags and go straight for new wildcats based on the new 338 Norma mag. 300 and 7mm's will be fantastic. Shorter case but with less taper and sharper shoulder than the Lapua. Nearly the same capacity and velocities.
Shorter case means seating the bullet easier.
4 and 10 round DBM is on my list. ;D

So, can I get a 223 bolt head for the new action?
A Savage in 338 Lapua?
Well that would just be like turning it up to 11 now, wouldn't it?
Holy crap, my bank account just shivered.
Good one. :)Originally Posted by outlawkyote

that link looks for real, i see an awful lot of genuine savage in the design.
i just told my shooting buddy that i did not plan on owning anything larger than a 300wsm, i may be eating them words soon.
God still loves you, yep even on them days....
