[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1769822, member: 66917"] I can I can tell you about 2 Defiance XM builds I am directly involved with. My father used the Rebel XM length and I used the Deviant Ultralight. Both actions give use about 3.2 OAL. Most of our accurate handloads are running around 3.01 inches ish. We had them throated to put the base of a 147 ELDM just ahead of the neck shoulder junction when the ogive is in the lands to provide max case capacity. Even with the 156 EOL the bullet does not protrude into the powder space much. The actions are smooth as butter and we ordered the with the machined in recoil lug. The rifles have been easy to load for and achieve sub 1/2 MOA. Just shot a Coues If it was going to build one on a Rem 700 I'd use a long action heavy recoil lug and the HS Precision bottom metal using their 300 WM DBM with the spacer. That gives you 3.1 inches of mag space. In fact I have an 7 LRM that I will likely do this to soon. [/QUOTE]
