[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 763726, member: 2460"] Mudrunner I'll work it up when I get home tonight ! The Rem 700 was a consideration simply because I have a blued 300 RUM available to chop up, it is definitely a point in discussion as I had the same questions on the integrity of it, Remington builds guns in 338 Lapua on their 700 and the big Jeff works on lower pressures than the hopped up 338 Lapua to begin with, also the boltface will be less alteration from .534" to .575" versus the Lapua at .589"... I was told by several smiths it would work just fine so long as the pressures are maintained for the original cartridge. My other (and original) option is to use a Sako M995 which already has the proper boltface. I have two Sakos one in 7.82 Warbird and another in 30-378 WBY so either one will work just less aftermarket options which led me to the M700.. I welcome all input and especially concerns regarding safety.. [/QUOTE]
