[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1110625, member: 13110"] The Remington and Savage 338 Lapua's are base on the same actions as the smaller calibers. I've built a few large bolt face calibers on Rem. 700 and I'm working on another now. The reality is you should probably use a custom action made for the caliber as the chamber walls start to get thin under the barrel threads not to mention the potential for lug set back. The cheapest commonly used Lapua based action is a Stiller TAC338 at around 1100.00. A person could also use a Mark V Weatherby action but they lack of aftermarket would lean me elsewhere. The TAC338 Is a Remington based action that is 1.400 OD versus 1.350 for a Remington and it has a 1" barrel tennon length. It's relatively easy to open a Remington stock for one. [/QUOTE]
