[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 105897, member: 10"] Bjlopper, I would agree with Shawn 100% on this one. Of the offered factory receivers to use, the Rem 700 would be my choice. I would also add that I would recommend a chrome moly receiver as well as the steel is harder and resists bolt lug set back better then the stainless receiver. This is for a 338 Lapua chambering. Just a bit more added margin of safety and longer barrel life. Loaded to safe loads the Lapua is perfectly safe in a properly worked over Rem 700. The 338 RUM is also a great round for all the reasons already mentioned. If you are not apposed to wildcats I would also recommend the 338 Edge(shameless plug for you Shawn!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). Offer a bit more then either of the 338 RUM or Lapua but with the same ease of fitting into the Rem 700 receiver as the 338 RUM. This round is the 300 RUM necked up to 338 caliber. Basically 0.090" longer case body then the standard 338 RUM. If your looking for extreme long range accuracy and consistancy, The CZ would not be my first choice, in fact it would not make my short list of choices!! Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
