[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1464494, member: 1656"] There is more involved to getting a standard long action to feed the Edge than swapping barrels, unless you want to run it as a single shot. You will need a new mag box, shorted the bolt stop to allow for longer throw, and open up the back of the magazine window (machine the action). I did it with a Dremel but it's not for the light of heart. I would recommend you stick with the 338 RUM for now. In fact I'd drop that gun in a nice pillared and bedded stock of your choice, probably a new trigger, and just see how it shoots. You can always do more later, and none of these improvements will be wasted effort if you do. [/QUOTE]
