Remington 40-XS .338 Lapua finally shipping
Tactical Life reports that the Remington 40-XS chambered in .338 Lapua will soon be available to purchase. It was announced nearly two years ago in Remington's 2008 law enforcement catalog but, to the best of my knowledge, was never manufactured.
It is built on the custom shop's 40-SX action and trigger group and features a 26" barrel with threaded removable muzzle brake, hand bedded McMillian A5 stock, detachable magazine and lengthly top picatinny rail.

I have had a Remington MLR in .338 Lapua Magnum for About a Year and it cost me $1299
The 338 Lapua is an awesome cartridge and a whole lot of fun to shoot. I had been looking at them for years and finally decided I wanted one. I looked at some of those available on the market and did much soul searching. Ultimately as a left handed shooter I spent some time discussing the project with my gun smith and we decided to build one on a Remington 700 action.
My left hand Remington build in 338 Lapua
He and I both learned a lot in the building of this rifle. If anyone else is considering a similar project I’d offer up 3 points for your consideration. 1) The bolt face needs to be opened up to accept the larger diameter of the Lapua brass. I’ve not had any issues so far, but if you remove metal you’re weaking the bolt. 2) We needed to alter the extractor after opening the bolt face. We decided on a Sako style extractor. This wasn’t an issue for me, but for anyone trying to build a 338 Lapua on a budget you’ll want to know about the extra gunsmith work required.
3) If you stay with a BDL bottom metal you will only be able to shoot your rifle as a single shot as the ammunition will not fit into the BDL magazine.
the remington site says that it’s only chambered in .308. option for the .338? (i think i might sell a kidney to buy this if it is!)
Based on the list price of some of the other 40-x Remington rifles at nearly $5000 each I would rather save another few months and get the Sako instead.
Way, way more than $2k.
We shot that gun (I’m pretty sure the picture at Tactical Life was taken at the range) and it’s AWESOME.
Start saving your pennies, nickles, and dimes.
Murdoc, where is GunPundit’s coverage?
That’s a whole lot of gun! Any idea what the price tag is on one of those babies?
Steve, is there any indication as to an MSRP for this rifle? The Sako I was looking at is nearly $4k and I really want a .338 Lapua but not bad enough to drop $4k on one. If they can bring this home for $1800-$2000 or so then I will be on board.
War, none that I have seen. It is semi-custom so I think it will go for a lot more than $2k.
