[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 872366, member: 11717"] I like Howa actions and just had 2 rifles built on Howa made actions, a Vanguard and S&W M1500. That said, I would not build any RUM size chambers on a Howa action because they are a little on the short side. About a 1/4" shorter than the 700. If it's in the budget, I would highly recommend a custom action over a 700. I alos did a build on a 700 and by the time I had it totally upgraded it wasn't to far from a custom in cost. One more recommendation, if you're looking a 375 RUM you might consider a 375/338 LM Imp. Much better brass and a little more case capacity and a little shorter than the RUM case. [/QUOTE]
