708 Will it feed ok in a long action

[marlow 243]

Ihave a long action rem. 7OO thats been trued it was a 2506 . Iwas thinking about puting a heavy barrel 708 on it would there be any feeding problems. Iwas thinking it would be an adv.with the longer bullets thanks marlow /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It will feed fine- the Army M24 308s are on a Rem LA.

Thanks chris iF YOU SAY IT WILL IM OK THANKS AGAIN

Out of curiosity, why does the Army use a LA instead of a SA?

 

[chris matthews]

The idea was so they could convert the action over to a 300 Win Mag but it never really happened in any mass amounts.

Oh, ok. Thanks! I never knew that.
