Custom 7.82 (.308) Lazzeroni Warbird

[adam32+P]

Sorry if this sounds really dumb but what caliber should I buy the action in to make the modification as easy as possible? I not very educated on that side of things, I know ballistics better

Something with a Lapua bolt face...

Or a Sako M995 that's already chambered in a Warbird...they pop up on GunBroker time to time.

I've seen those, I saw one for 800 that I should've bought

He (Lazzeroni) has never admitted it, but the case dimensions mirror the Rigby.
So he must have had an inkling of this design prior to bringing it out.
Just as they say that the Chet-TAC has no parent case…yes it does, the 505 Gibbs.

As to actions, Stiller, BAT, Borden and Fierce all make actions suited to Rigby size case head.

Cheers.

I know this makes things difficult but I'd prefer a Remington action, but I appreciate the info and will look into the others!

They are rare but Remington did make some 338 Lapua's that you could use as a donor.

You seem extremely educated in this, you mind talking me what I'd have to do to a .338 lapua receiver so it would shoot a Warbird?

Have a gunsmith put a new barrel on it chambered in a Warbird.

Thank you, technically I could use any .338 lapua receiver then?

 

[jstreater69]

At the end of the day it would probably more work than it's worth so I may go a different caliber, still my dream gun tho

Where are you gonna get brass?

That would be an issue lmao, the newer hot aft brass isn't as bad as the older brass they used. Brass is another reason I'm thinking ab the 300 rum but I still love the Warbird ballistics
