[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 747785, member: 10306"] you can do it, or I should say a smith can do it. The feed rails need to be widened, but thats OK because you'll want a Wyatts outdoor extended box and follower (like $70) that needs some machining to fit (4.00" OAL possible). Bolt head opened up and barrel rechambered (may as well get it blueprinted and lapped while the tube is off). Since you are spending the money, get a new tube too. This would of course be for a .338 RUM, the Lapua is a little too Fat for the M700 action. I would do it if I had a 338 WIN simply because I find the round pretty useless for how I hunt. It would sit in my safe all the time, until I new I was bush wackin. [/QUOTE]
