[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2535646, member: 68758"] Well, short answer is yes- natch. Whether an internal box or DBM, the case has gotta pass thru the receiver cutout. If you check their site, the action is available in "BDL" cut, and "AI/AW" cut for DBM's. You ordered the BDL cut to fit your Hawkins bottom metal. Factory M700's are available in "standard" LA, and "magnum" LA- and it's not just about the boltface. The magnum LA has wider feed rails/receiver cutout for the likes of the Ultras and WSM's. I would check with Wyatt's and see what box would be the best option for the WSM. You're definitely going to need a centerfeed box for the WSM, but which one that would be in a long action is the question. With a centerfeed box you're no longer relying on the receiver feed rails- the box has feed lips (which are adjusted) to control the round. I [I]think[/I] the CFE-12 would be the correct box- but definitely confirm with Wyatt's first. Opening the feed rails for a centerfeed box is easily done by any smith, you certainly don't need extended length so no other mods like the bolt stop are needed. Keep us posted on what you find out, curious myself which box would work best for this. [/QUOTE]
