[QUOTE="AKdan, post: 1442294, member: 83800"] Thanks for the reply. I think you may be correct that finding the right person at Remington to answer a technical question might be challenging. They do build their XCRII Tactical on a 416SS action. I had one a few years ago and it was stainless. I do find it interesting that many argue against the remington action being used for lapua bolt faces and then, as you said, make a smaller lug. kinda defeats the purpose. It really has to do with the specs for heat treating. Probably the best case for purchasing a quality custom action, but precision heat treating is not a sexy topic like precision machining. I found one source a while ago that claimed that Remington aims for a RC of 38. I will look for it again. It state that RC of 38 was optimal for hardness, durability, and elasticity...Looks like we need to find someone with a bunch of actions for some testing. Thanks for the reply. Dan [/QUOTE]
