[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1746179, member: 65338"] The reason for using a custom action for a Lapua bolt face round has nothing to do with the footprint of the action. Rem 700 has a .700" bolt body and theres nothing left around the case rim when you open them up for a Lapua bolt face. If you have a case rupture, theres really nothing to stop the gases escaping the chamber. 700's also usually have smaller bolt lugs. The customs built for Lapua sized cases have a larger .750" bolt body diameter for the large Lapua bolt face. Recoil lugs usually run all the way to the front of the bolt body (not recessed like a 700) which results in more strength. Also usually better steel and more accurate and even hardening process used by custom actions. [/QUOTE]
