[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1382492, member: 26535"] The bottom line is using a 700 for a .588 cartridge is flirting with disaster. You are eroding the safety factor built into most action/bolt head configurations. In the end it is your hand, eye, or life so do what you want but you have been warned. Just because some will build it does not mean it is ok. The larger .588 head applies far more thrust to the lug abutment than a .532. I would save for a custom or use a Savage Lapua action. [/QUOTE]
