[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1081203, member: 12995"] The RUM action will have wider feed rails on the bottom of the action, and uses a different mag box and follower. I have a 7mm STW that was built off an old 7RUM CDL action. You can use a RUM action for a magnum caliber, but can't use a magnum action for a RUM, without having the feed rails opened up, and swapping the mag box and follower for the correct RUM parts. If you want to build a RUM caliber, it's easiest to buy a 700 BDL or CDL in a RUM caliber, then use those parts to build. But if all you want is a magnum caliber, then buy a magnum BDL or CDL action to start out with. [/QUOTE]
