[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 278208, member: 9964"] NFG: You asked for opinions. Others opinions don't agree with yours, that is life and the rest of us get on with it. I don't wish to provoke an argument. I would like to ask you a couple of questions. Are you a licensed and insured Gunsmith (Type 01 FFL) or Manufacture (Type 07 FFL)? Do you carry liability insurance policies with either Joseph Chiarello & Co,. Inc or Lloyds of London, as these are the only two Firearms Insurer in North America. Neither companies policies would allow for modifing and chambering a 338 Lapua on a Savage action. Are you a licensed (PE) mechanical engineer? Have you ever experienced or observed as catistrophic rifle failure? This forum is provided to us by Len to share our wealth of knowledge and experience. You might build a 338 Lapua on a Savage 110 or Stevens 200 action and have many years of wonderful shooting experience. I can tell you that Savage has not offered this rifle in this chambering. I suspect that is for a reason. You might call Ron Colburn or Joe Degrande at Savage an ask them why Savage does not offer the 338 Lapua in their line-up. I know Jerry Stiller, John Pierce, Jim Borden all make Custom actions that are clones of the Remington 700. The OD of both the action and bolt are simular in the Savage. None of these makers recomend building 338s on their 1.350 actions with bolts that are .701. All make beefer actions for the .338 Lapua. NFG if you build or find someone else to build a .338 Lapua on a Savage action and you have a catistrophic failure and someone else is injured or killed there will be law suits. Having posted and been warned of the possibility of catistrophic failure will make the plantiffs case for them. Why put yourself in that position when it can be avoided by using a properly engineered action from the get go. This will be my last post regarding this subject. I have made my opinion known. It is supported both by the industry and many very reputable gunsmiths. I am confident you can find others who will agree and/or disagree with my post. I wish you many years of safe shooting.
