338 Norma Magnum Review And First Shots Through My 338 Lapua With HNT26 Chassis After Hunting Season
A long awaited and promised review on Marlin's 338 Norma Mag. built by Insite Arms. I will go through all the build components piece by piece. I will talk about the ballistics between the Norma and Lapua. Then we will take it out to distance, well as far as we can at our range which is 800 meters or 880 yards.
I will then take my Cadex 338 Lapua and take a cold bore shot out to 800 meters. It will be the first time it has been shot since hunting season and I had done nothing to it, just to see if it still shot true after being bounced on a ATV, packed on my back and even strapped to a backpack over the hunting season. Thanks for watching , take care.

Man.... Marlin has a nice rifle. I can't believe he'd want to put it in a chassis. But, I'm not a chassis guy, so..... Good shooting and nice rifles. 👍
Yes, it is a very nice rifle. Its not in a chassis its is still in the original stock and I believe it will stay that way. Thank you and thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
Definitely a real nice rig iv been running a fully custom 300 prc but it was a bit heavy at 11 pounds and sold it to a buddie and got a 300 prc christensen arms fft. I absolutely love it all in 7 pounds 7 oz. ....I have a 416 wby I'm thinking of rebarreling into a 338 norma ackly improved on a 22" barrel.
Hi Stephen, it is a very nice rig. The 300 PRC is a great caliber, that’s a great weight for that caliber very nice to pack and carry long distances. I think you would be very happy with a 338 Norma AI, even with a 22” barrel I think you would get great speeds. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, take care. If you do that 338 build let me know how it shoots and what speeds you are getting.
A beautiful setup Al, and some great shooting. Your passion is limitless..
Hi Mak, thank you and thanks for watching and the comment it’s greatly appreciated, take care.
Great review and rifle Al thank you
Hi Ray, Thank you, I hope all is well. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care my friend.
@@bcextremeoutdoorsman Thanks Al the video stalled a lot nets still not great TAKE CARE BUD
Heck yeah gentlemen!! You had me at .338 😁. Very intrigued with that chassis for my Lapua
Hi Karl, thank you. It’s a great caliber and the chassis is awesome !!! Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
Just noticed Peterson Brass no longer offer 338 norma
Hi, I wonder why they stopped making it. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
Man ,,,that thing is a beast,,,,,im a 308 guy
Hi Bushin BC, It is a beast and very enjoyable to shoot. 308 is also a great caliber. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
Awesome gun, and great review. I got a simular gun in 338 rum, when I was building it I thought about the norma and 338-378. But brass was way to expensive and hard to find for both.
Hi, thanks it is an awesome gun. I really like the big 338 calibers, so fun to shoot and a little pricy. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
How do you like the accuracy of the 338 RUM? How is recoil? I am torn between the various 338's . Go big or go home with a 338 LM Ackley ...or go 338 Norma and be conservstive with powder and barrel life and possibly better accuracy Range will be 1500 - 2000 yds
The recoil looks light enough that you can get back on target in time to spot your own shots eh?
Hi DrD, the recoil on all my rifles are very manageable, meaning I never loose site picture of the target and can spot trace and impacts. Unless I do something wrong in my fundamentals. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care my friend.
Damn good shooting Bud, and Marlin too. Finding a range allowing those rifles to stretch there legs, within a decent driving distance from home, can be a challenge. Another good day at the range!
Hi Johnny, thank you. we are going to try and find a spot this spring to shoot ELR. That in itself will be a challenge. lol thanks again for watching and the comment, take care.
Wow that’s a beautiful rifle never heard of that caliber I seen a 308 Norma mag target rifle.
It is a beautiful rifle and it's very sweet to shoot. The . 338 Norma Magnum is a cartridge first introduced in 2008 and came into production in 2009, designed by Norma of Sweden. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
I bought the same range finder after your review so thank you for that review I’m saving up for the watch now holy smokes that’s an expensive watch.
Hi Wild West coast, it's a great range finder for sure, I really like mine. I'm glade the review helped. The watch is nice as well and yes, a little pricey. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
Just a question Why do they call a rifle a gun when a gun has no rifling I was always brought up calling a firearm with rifling a rifle gun with No rifling was always called a gun
Hi Tony, I am not sure, I never really thought about it. But a good point. Thanks for watching and the comment, take care.
