.338 Edge build help

[thesheepdog]

Hello, I am new here, but I am not a new shooter.

I am working on obtaining components for a .338 Edge Repeater build.

From what I've gathered, a Rem 700 will work for this load. What kind of work is necessary so the action can remain a repeater? Does this involve opening up the receiver and stock inlet?

Also, if you have any other recommendations for me as to what are the best modifications for this rifle/caliber, please let me know.


I appreciate the responses.


thanks

You can use a Wyatt's CFE-9 box. The receiver and stock will have to be altered to fit. This box will hold a cartridge with an oal of nearly 4". You can use the Wyatt's follower for center feed or lengthen a Remington follower for staggered feed. The lips on the top of the box will have to be bent depending on which follower is used. They function fine. I would also recommend having an M-16 extractor installed. If you have any questions, you can give me a call at 478-957-5213 . Gary Campbell
