408 cheytac?'s

If you get the 50 dtc you can always get a 408 conversion later. Tom is a great guy and if you do get a rifle from him I heard he really takes the time to show you how to use it and reload for it.Plus they have some 1000yd matches down your way that area good to go that Tom started and another shooter is helping him run. The 408 is calm compared to the 50 bmg.

Alright fellers Im about a week away from making a purchase for Im thinking the 408 Windrunner. But before I do Im ask one last question to those who own them or who have owned them or even shot them. If you could do it all over again and could only have 1 ELR rifle would the Windrunner 408 be one of your options??? And Im not asking if you could have just one rifle Im asking if you had a choice of just 1 Extreme Long Range rifle?

I would say that the people who want those types of calibers are into long range sniping/shooting. I want to ask them if they are capable of delivering the rounds at that distance. I shoot my 308 Win in matches at beyond 600 yards, and I hit my targets. You will have to deal with wind and other factors. No matter what guns you have, if you cannot deliver the rounds accurately, the guns are no use for anything.

If I could do it all over again I think the .408 Windrunner is a bit overkill and would just get a .375 Cheytac (aka .375/408) built by Lawton. Much lighter and less bulky as well as a superior round. I still a .338LM is a reasonable choice for an ELR rifle as most folks don't get much of an opportunity to shoot them at their limit.

But maybe you're like me - I just wanted a damned .408 Windrunner

LOL yeah Im afraid that is how I am. Im supposed to call Lawton tomorrow and see what they have to offer I just cant seem to get over the look and portability factor with the windrunner. I am sure that Ill have a crapload more questions for all you guys when I actually make a decision and get whatever ima get so please forgive me and have patience for my lack of knowledge.

EDMARMS website said it has a few thousand rounds of .408 cheytac maybe thats worth looking into.
