[QUOTE="B23, post: 283403, member: 13222"] When I was first going to use a Rem. 700 action for either a Lapua or 338 Edge my smith told me the same thing. Would have to use a different bolt cause he wouldn't open up a stock Rem. bolt to .588. At that point, still thinking I was going to use a donor Rem. 700, I thought 338 Edge. Everything I read about the Edge was good and it had a slight advantage in FPS over the 338LM. Further research showed the only weak link, if you even want to call it that, in the Edge was the brass. At this point, atleast for me, I made a decision to go all in. Dropped the idea of using a Rem. 700 action and went with a BAT and 338 Lapua AI. Brass was much more expensive but 100 cases will last a very long time and I will get close to my 3000fps with a 300SMK or Scenar. Decide how much you can or want to spend. Research it to death. That, in my opinion, will help you understand what each one is capable of and knowing either of their capabilities will determine the outcome. [/QUOTE]
