[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1355350, member: 27307"] Virtually every action advertised as being barreled for the .338 Lapua will work for the .300 Norma Magnum. The choices within those actions are weight and the number of lugs. All of the custom makers have a 0.590" bolt face model including BAT, Kelbly, Pierce, Defiance, etc. Pierce even has a Titanium model. I like the Surgeon for the size and weight but I don't mind carrying a heavier rifle. I've also used the Barnard, Stiller and Defiance plus several others. If you have an aversion to carrying weight then look at the Titanium actions, carbon fiber barrels and carbon fiber stocks. I started building a version of the 7mm-300 Norma Mag. about 3 years ago. I have been using a lighter #5 Bartlein barrel for hunting and heavier #7 barrel for long range shooting with this cartridge. The shorter case and longer magazine lengths (DBM) allow for excellent seating of even the heaviest bullets. Now I'm working with variations of the Infidel cartridges which are shortened versions of the .338 Lapua. [/QUOTE]
