[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1141445, member: 24284"] Some gunsmiths will, some won't. The diameter of the Rem. 700 bolt is .700" (+-). The rim diameter of the .338L is .588. .700-.588= .112"/2 = .056". Thats how much "rim" there'd be left around the bolt face. Subtract some more, for clearance, and you're left with even less "rim" around the bolt face. Say Bye, Bye to the "Three Rings of Steel" the Reminginton 700 is famous for! I'm one of those gunsmiths that won't. [/QUOTE]
