Surgeon Rifles’ XL .338 Lapua Mag
Tactical sniper rifle BOASTS SUB-MOA ACCURACY— Out to a mile and beyond!
It is no coincidence that there is currently a surge in interest in .338 caliber rifles in military circles. Bullets in that caliber have higher ballistic coefficients (BC) than similar .30 caliber (or smaller) bullets, enabling the .338 to show less drop, wind deflection and velocity loss at extended range. Pushed to reasonable velocities, 0.338 of an inch diameter bullets such as the 250- and 300-grain Sierra MatchKings have the ballistic capability to engage man-size targets at up to 2,000 yards.
While Vietnam-era American military doctrine was based on relatively close-range fighting in jungle and forest environments, environments for which the 5.56mm cartridge was intended, the experiences of American troops in the Middle East and Africa have amply demonstrated the usefulness of a lightweight rifle capable of engaging enemy personnel at ranges of a mile or more.

I don’t see any resemblance to the FR-F2 but I do own a Surgeon Remedy and looks don’t hit targets. The action is made from one piece of steel, rail included, and the bolt is similar in construction. The details in the CNC construction are too numerous to mention here. The McMillan A-5 speaks for itself.
I needed a scope worthy of the Remedy that can take me to 2K yards and beyond. The U.S. Optics folks assure me it will. The folks at Surgeon are probably the best custom rifle makers I can imagine.
I own one other custom rifle in the same price range and for the money and customer satisfaction, you cannot beat the quality and integrity at Surgeon Rifles.
