[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 95602, member: 12"] Ken I would recommend two things to consider. 1. Go to a 338 Lapua. Brass is better and cheaper. Ballistics are as good. 2. Not sure I would want to build that large a case on 700 action. Lot of dispute about that the viability of that action. Yea, yea, bunch will say that it can be done and others will say it is not safe. What is the value you place on your eyes or life when it will cost the same to do it right? When you consider the price of the action, cost of accurizing you can buy a custom action for same or less money. For example Bruce Baer (gunsmith in PA) is selling Lawton actions that will fit those cartridges for under $700. Sizes are 1.3", 1.450 and 1.650". Stiller Python will handle either and is $950, comes with trigger guard and tapered (20 MOA) rings to fit base milled on top of action. BH [/QUOTE]
