[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 183472, member: 8843"] Ibelieve that the biggest torubles with chambering the Rem action in the realy big case heads is like J E said the bolt nose diameter , onceits opened up that far their leave little room for a decient extractor setup. It can be done and their are alot of 338 Lapua's out their as well as 378Wby cased rifles built on Rem 700 actions. Are thier better choices , yea but if you have a Rem 700 laying around it will work. If I were going to bui,ld one I would ceratanly only build on a CM action and I'd have my barrel made so that its 1.35" at the shank rather than 1.25" , probably not needed but I'll pay a bit more for extra insurance.
