To do or not to do?

got a chance to purchase this Savage's new One Mile Rifle: Savage 110BA Tactical .338 Lapua Magnum

I was about to send off one of the last unanodized viking body and tray to DC for milling. other parts I have aquired are
raw polished Tarantula 90* frame, with Tarantula metal panels and 2 different style triggers for it (all raw polished)
raw DC volumizer
raw STD LPR
raw AKA 2 -Liter
raw javelin
raw eye covers
new hammer cartridge
new Robtown valve
newish Bolt and bolt pin (got it from a disfunctional Valhalla)
A+ feed neck polished black
raw Lapco Feedneck

the question is should I sell this off and buy the savage? and no, i cannot afford both. man what to do, what to do

and yes I have another AKA. its an 04 Excal

I'd love to have a .338LM as well but the gun is the cheap part of that system. You need to remember that you will also need a good scope, bipod, cleaning supplies, long range (1000+ yards) and good .338LM ammo (the most expensive part I think)...

So, I think the Viking would be cheaper and might be easier to find a good place to use it haha. Rock out either way though.

Viking for sure. I thought I had bought a rifle that was chambered for .338 lapua, but turns out it was chambered for $5 bills...

What Abizdafuzz speaks is the truth. I am currently building a 338LM for a friend of mine (remingtoin 700 action). The scope alone for his rifle was $3200, If your going to shoot this beast your going to want to get into re-loading as is will get very expensive going to the range.
