[QUOTE="BillR, post: 752641, member: 462"] The bolt face for a .300 Win Mag will be the same as a .338 RUM/ .338 Edge. Any decent gunsmith worth going to will square up the action and deal with the feeding issues I would suspect. If he does not suggest this WELL! There are also some other things he needs to look at like the firing pin hole size and possibly bushing it, lengthening out the box magazine if you want it to feed Edge length cartridges, lapping the bolt lugs and enlarging the scope base screws. All are things that make the gun a bit easier to shoot. Now if your just looking to make it a single shot some of those things can be passed over. [/QUOTE]
