Hi everyone,
I have a few questions that I cannot seem to find any info on. I have a brand new rem 700 SA that I picked up some time ago for a future build. After a lot of deliberation I have decided that I want to build a 7mm SAUM. Here is where the question comes in. This action I have has a standard 308 bolt face. Where can I get a short action bolt with the correct bolt face for this round? I know I can have my smith open the bolt face up, but also looking at my options. Also, I assume that the short mags are built off the same short action? Or do they build a different action for these rounds? I have a standard box mag for this action. I would guess that I would need to get a different one. Any information to make this process a little easier would be greatly appreciated.
