[QUOTE="bettin, post: 196984, member: 5438"] I don't know what the feelings are of some of the other guys on this forum, but its a questionalbe idea to chamber a 700 in 338 Lapua. That is why some of the custom actions have become so popular, they are designed to handle that cartridge. That being said, the bolt face will have to be opened up to a diameter to accept the case head size, which will not leave very much of the bolt nose recess left. He will then have to install a Sako or M-16 style extractor. He will also have to make the counter bore in the barrel larger then normal, to allow room for the Sako extractor to pop over the case rim. Hope that answers your question. I would be curious to know what some of you other guys think about this? Bettin Custom [/QUOTE]
