[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 324498, member: 12"] I do not see any advantage to that stock over others. Switch barrel guns have to have an index mark on the action and barrel to properly insure correct headspacing when you switch them . No way to see the marks inside the tube with that configuration. So not sure how you figure it is easier? Would like to hear that. No money saved over any other stock also. Plus you are pushing the envelope trying to make any one action "properly" work for both a 308 AND a 338 lapua/Edge size case and it will require two bolts. You can go with a Wyatts mag box and maybe get a smith to fit a second 308 spring and follower in the larger box and just swap them out each time. You have two choices if you absolutely want to do it. 338 Norma (short 338 lapua) that is giving 2850 with 300s and the Edge. Got a better idea for you. Call John Myer at Custom Gunsmithing in Boyce VA. He just happens to have a factory Rem 338 Lapua with brake, dies, brass and loaded ammo for a steal in his shop, as of 2 days ago. Ready to go now. Call him at (540) 837-2598. That leaves enough $ for a 308 and then some. BH [/QUOTE]
