[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 1379805, member: 103471"] I have a Savage long action , 116, that I had built into a 338-378 Weatherby . It started life as a 30-06. Used the Savage bolt head for the 338 Lapua. I did not use the barrel nut, tho, I had the smith put my Lilja 32in barrel on conventionally. It was 34in, but he didn't listen or didn't care when I told him not to cut the muzzle off, per Lilja. I have run some pretty hot loads thru it. Didn't have a chronograph at that time, so don't know how hot. No issues. I am actually thinking of another build in either 378Wby or 416Wby. Or both ! Forgot, 225gr pills at 3490, and 265gr at 3150.
