[QUOTE="308 Hawg, post: 52373, member: 331"] I'll add a couple of additional thoughts on the Rem/Lapua issue. You can open the threads on a Remington to 1.09 or 1.1 major dia. when truing the threads. That gives you more material around the chamber. Using a Sako type extractor has been done on thousands of Rem actions but I'm still not comfy with them. They CAN be blown out and can cause serious personal injury. Nobody that shoots left handed is permitted to shoot any of my Sako'd Remingtons. Yes, I've shot .338 Laupas and .338-416 Rigby Imp's. on Remington 700/721s but a TRG-S or Enfield would be a better choice from a safety standpoint. There were articles in Tactical Rifle (Precision Shooting Publishing) on the development of the .338 Lapua. The articles documented Remingtons efforts in this caliber. The rifle was called an SR8 and looked just like a Remington 700 with a "Sako type extractor". One is offered for sale on snipercountry.com classifieds, ocassionally. [/QUOTE]
