[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 121915, member: 10"] Right now the best receiver options for the 338 Allen Magnum are from Lawton Machine with their M8000 receiver and from BAT which offers several models with the 408 CT bolt face which is needed. Barney Lawton told me that he offers a repeating model of the M8000 which is set up to use the EDM magazine boxes I believe he said. I also think he told me Bruce Baer was making bottom metal for these repeating designs but I may have been mistaken on that. There is no way the HS will accept a 338 Allen Mag case. No where near big enough in any dimension. You will be very hard pressed to keep a 338 AM chambered rifle under 15 lbs in a repeating rifle. Only real practical option is for a single shot rifle if you want this weight range. If you want to get into the 12 lb range you will need something pretty exotic in the barrel such as an ABS carbon wrapped barrel but I still personally feel this is pretty light for this type of rifle. I recommend at least 32" of barrel length with this wildcat. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
