[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1963899, member: 1656"] I shoot an Edge I built myself (Remage) on a Stiller action. I can't imagine what more you could do to get more out of a standard Rem700. But it is NOT plug-and-play, even with a Remage setup. You have to mill the feed opening in the bottom of the action towards the rear a decent amount and modify the bolt stop to allow those 4" shells to feed into the action and the bolt come back far enough to pick them up. And the Wyatt's box required some work to take off sharp edges and get it to feed. I did this all with a dremel which worked but was not ideal, and took many hours of careful work. I get 2970fps with 285s in a 30" barrel. I say all this to recognize the attractiveness of the 338 SM for someone willing to sacrifice a bit of speed to get a respectable long range 338 without that level of work. [/QUOTE]
