[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 150950, member: 10"] I have built some Ruger MkIIs into the 358 STA which is longer then the 338 RUM. That said, I would not feel comfortable doing it with the 338 RUM for a couple reasons. First, there are really no good replacement magazine boxes for the Ruger for this larger diameter round and feeding may be an issue. Also, the larger diameter case of the RUM would make me a bit nervous with the small bolt lug on the extractor side of the bolt. I am sure it would handle it but in this day and age of lawsuits, it would not be something I would chance. You may want to look at something like a 338 STW or 338 Jarrett. I have the Jarrett reamer and would get you very near to what a 338 RUM would get you and feed much better. The conversion however is not cheap and you may be looking at less money to just get a Rem 700 receiver in the long run. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
