[QUOTE="BillR, post: 749484, member: 462"] The .338 Rum and .338 Edge both use the same bolt face as the .300 Win mag or the standard Remington Large bolt face. Nice part about this is you can find Rem 700's on the used gun racks in the long action large bolt face in just about any gun store that sells used guns. Pawn shops are another location. Wal-Mart carry's a number of Remington 700's and puts them on sale and you can pick up a whole rifle in .300 Win Mag or 7MM Rem Mag which the latter is most times easier to find for some reason at a price that is cheaper than you can find a action alone. From there it is pretty easy to find a competent gunsmith on this site that can blueprint the action and build you whatever you want. Its not uncommon to find one of the large bolt face long action guns in the neighborhood of $350. It just takes time. Don't worry about pretty. You can always make it pretty. The .338 Rum is the easiest to build as the .338 Lapua takes a larger bolt face. [/QUOTE]
