[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2664020, member: 68758"] Savage builds their .338 LM on a 1-1/16" action (own one). About 500 rounds down the tube on it, will be rebarreling next year; I've heard that there can be some lug setback so I'll be checking for that. Clearly, not optimal for the amount of bolt thrust from that cartridge- but I have no doubt it is "adequate"- or Savage Arms, with staff of numerous engineers/metallurgists behind their designs (not to mention lawyers- and what a catastrophic failure would do) would never put it to market. That said- being marginal we keep loads reasonable and don't push the rifle hard. I look at it sorta like titanium actions- great for hunting rifles that don't see heavy use- and not so good for heavy target/high round count applications. [/QUOTE]
