[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 578060, member: 4885"] 1) I don't believe you can get a bolt face big enough for a 408 CheyTac in a Savage. 2) The Action isn't big enough (diameter wise), remember, the 408 Cheytac body is nearly the same size as a 20ga shell! If you want to build a serious long range rifle yourself, get a Savage Action and have a pre-chambered 338 Edge barrel made. You can "ASSEMBLE" all the parts, finish/bed the stock, adjust the trigger ... and end up with a nice rifle (I've done this). But the 338AM or Snipetac are just TOO much for a shade tree gunsmith to deal with. IMHO AJ [/QUOTE]
