Hey guys,
I've got it in my head that I want to do a lighter weight LA hunting rifle build. The catch is I want to be able to use 208, mag, AND Lapua bolts. One rifle, swap barrel/bolt, re-zero, and head out. Is there a particular action that would excel at this? The AnTi-X is high on my list, but I don't see on their website if I can order extra bolts? In another thread I started the Kelbly's Nanook got a lot of votes, but I emailed them and they do not offer a 308 LA bolt. Any other ideas?
 
Surprised Kelbly said no 308, it's the same bolt face as the 30-06, you would just be putting a short cartridge in a long action.

New bolts get expensive, would suggest getting something like a TL3/SR3 from Zermatt for the 308 and Mag bolt face. Then get a dedicated action for the lapua. Zermatt makes a great action and their swapable bolt heads are much cheaper than new bolts.
