[QUOTE="dgarrett, post: 1381548, member: 58686"] If you want one of the bigger 338's on a 700 action build an Edge... And like what many of the people in the know stated you won't get any cheaper then using the Wetherby mark v action for a lapua size case... I had 2 Edges built in Savages lt actions... One was a single shot target action the other a repeater... For me the breaking point was the trigger systems available for the savages versa whats available for the Remington actions.. I tried 3-4 aftermarket triggers and just couldn't find any I liked or that compared to the better triggers available for the remington actions... At least for me. Playing with many 30-378 over the years the only problem I have ever seen with them was a broken extractor... and this one was operator error...never tried any aftermarket triggers on one but a little polishing and a loupe cut off the spring and the trigger was a great smooth hunting type trigger...As time goes on I just don't think that Budget and long range shooting goes together. Can it get you where you want to be... Yes... but in the end you can always get about the same amount of money more out of a custom action build then you could a semi-custom build on a regular action.. I think I would save the extra $600 and buy a Custom Action .. [/QUOTE]
