[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1559914, member: 10755"] I built an Edge on a Rem 700 for myself, I build Lapua’s for customers that I cannot talk out of doing them. A .595” recess on a 700 is asking for trouble if the owner doesn’t understand they CANNOT run super high pressure. My first 3 rifles came back with boogered extractors, had to fit M16 style extractors which further weakened the ‘3 rings of steel’ formula. I haven’t had any crack, but have had one with a ruined bolt nose stuck in the barrel recess from an overload. Serious expansion occurred. For myself, I build all rifles .588” or larger on CZ550 Safari Classic actions, and this is what I recommend to customers for Lapua/Rigby/Gibbs sized cartridges. I know there are actions available with .750” and larger bolt diameters, but these actions are generally large and heavy. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
