[QUOTE="signature542, post: 526048, member: 14798"] Agree the the 700 is a great action. I have several just I would never consider a 338 Lapua on one.. Edge, 338 RUM yes no issue..Basically you arent removing a lot or any steel away to accomodate a bigger bolt. Thats the beauty of a 700 its not forged! High intensity powerful cartridges need to have their pressure held back somehow, The more I learn in this game is that the barrel shank and the knox form on the barrel are critical for saftey and possibly better match winning accuracy. Accuracy is important if building one of these big girls. Lawton 7500 V 7000 for example, with the top F class shooters opting for the slightly bigger 7500 single shot. Is there any gunsmith in the site who can give us the technical side on the ins and outs of this argument?. Strengths and weak areas if any?. If the Lapua works no argument from me but is this the best option? Why do they make Lawton 8500's stiller TAC338's etc with a bigger barrel shank? I'm not saying it wont work but is it the best option? [/QUOTE]
