Do you think we could team up to convince Browning to make a Hunter Model in 338 Federal?  I'd want a 22-23" barrel.  I'd buy one as soon as announced!

Of the two you mentioned I'd spring for the Browning Stalker.  I own two Savage LH rifles (11FL and 93GL) and two Browning LH rifles (Micro Hunter and Stainless Stalker) and nothing against my Savages, but the Brownings are something special.

B carefull of what you wish for!!!!!!!! I wished for a mkii  m77 Lh RUGAR for 10 yrs and they finally came out with it! I bought one of the 1st!!!!!!!!   was the worst shooting rifle I ever owned! figured prob. was with the stock! SOLD IT!!! then found out I could have bought a aftermarket syn. stock for it! as I do believe the stock was the problem!!!!!!!!! it shot extremely well in warm weather and would'nt hit the broadside of a barn below 30 degrees!!!!!

Well I was in the gun shop the other day and looked at both the browning and the savage......... the browning won I just liked the fit and balance better. I also have not had a bad browning shooter yet also it was 100 bucks cheaper than two other shops  ;) quoted me if they could get one before january. So I topped it with a Leupold vari x II in 3x9 and replace the trigger spring to give me a nice consistent 3# pull. Now to find a handload it likes.

Yes Greg I would love a 338 Federal but I don't thik that will happen :-[
