[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 461477, member: 2215"] The feed ramp does not need to be shortened. All the material is taken off rearward. The internal factory mortise should be approximately 3.795". You will need to mill back approximately .275". In the middle of the action there is a threaded hole normally for the front screw of an ADL trigger guard. You need to mill a little past that screw eliminating it all together. The feed rails will need to be opened up where you milled so the head of the case can slip through. The bolt stop will need to be shortened up also to allow the bolt to cycle far enough back to pick up the next case. In the 338 Edge I haven't found it necessary to open the port rearward for proper extraction as Wyatts instructions suggests. You'll need to play with the feed lips on the mag box to get the right fir so a case can slip through but not pop back up through. I'd be glad to do this for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. Just let me know. [/QUOTE]
