[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 468988, member: 4"] There some issues that would require serious interest to overcome. Changing the action to something that is not a 700 LA footprint would require changing almost everypart on the rifle so given the amount of guys that would actually buy one in a 338 AM or 375 CT etc would probably not be enough to make it worth doing.
