[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2051736, member: 78569"] I've been debating a similar idea off a Rem SA 700. Obviously I would need a separate bolt. I have a 6.5 Dasher with an AICS DBM that works great. For the longer cases, an extended box mag with a BDL might be used. It also depends on the feed ram width to still accommodate a DBM. Could be very limiting there. The major downside is that all these added parts are not cheap. Money I might rather have in a sperate LA action. I find when I build a gun, it shoots so well I don't want to touch it, even for a switch barrel. On the bighorn, I think it uses a fixed post for case extraction. Others use a side bolt release. These would limit how far back the bolt would go. On a rem 700, you could just swap out the bolt stop to shorten or lengthen your throw. There are lots of moving parts with this idea. Consider how you plan to feed your rounds and COALs you may plan on using. [/QUOTE]
