[QUOTE="acloco, post: 354141, member: 6137"] It is still a single shot. Purchased a CRF (controlled round feed) Magnum bolthead from Midway. Used an aftermarket recoil lug, and did NOT use the barrel nut. The action is thicker than Remington/etc....and stainless, so, no reason that it won't handle the pressure. I checked squareness of the action face, lapped the lugs, chambered/cut threads/added muzzle brake. If I did it again, the only item I would change....use an LRPV action. No need for a ultra low weight trigger pull on this boomer. I nice 1.5 or 2 lb would work perfectly....as it is not like you are going to carry a 25 or heavier rifle very far. Of note, if removing a loaded round, I do have to release the bolt. Interesting about Savage...understand they are coming out with a 338 Lapua factory chambered rifle. [/QUOTE]
