Wow. That's the best ratio of foot/pounds of muzzle energy to dollars spent I've ever seen.
Definitely a whole lotta gun.
Still there. I just called.
And the caliber is .338 Win Mag, not the slightly more powerful but 3X more expensive "Weatherby Mag."

Is that a V2? Dang, I'd never shoot it but never stopped me before. 
Don't believe so. And even though Howa makes them, the quality was not on the level of my 1500.
I really thought about it, but I'll pass.
Although the gun is dirt cheap, if I bought it, I'd be spending $900 this week.
Rifle + sales tax = $375
Scope base = $75
1" rings, steel, 2 screws per side = $60
Decent rifle scope for long range hunting = $300
3 boxes of ammo (200 gr., 225, and 250 gr. bullets) = $43 per box, or $129 total.
GRAND TOTAL: $939.
Add a sling and maybe a second stud up front for use with a bipod and we're pushing a THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I can't spend that for a "three-fifty" rifle.

Yes sir, very realistic.
I ended up buying this gun. It being a V1 action a weird cheap plastic stock similar to the V2 but, honestly not even that nice. It went straight into the safe, I'll be keeping an eye out for a long action stock and a respectable piece of glass that's buyer friendly. All in due time.
