Have to open the ejection port as well if you want to be able to remove a loaded round. Wyatt's has a great demonstration video on it. Any competent gunsmith should be able to do it.
My local smith milled the bottom, modified the bolt stop, opened the ejection port, opened the stock and spot cerekoted the receiver for like $136. Great guy.

Excellent question. I have enjoyed the answers.
Anyone know of an action that takes savage threads that will do 4"? I know the origin won't. Any other?

Hey Joel,Kratos X | TERMINUS ACTIONS | The Premium 3-Lug Rifle Action
Kratos X is specially designed to handle the .338 Lapua and Norma Mag cartridges, yet still retain a standard long action footprint and stock.
It says it is designed for the Lapua bolt face, but the drop down only has .590.
Any other thoughts on an action with savage threads?
