What is it that you need to see?
Thank you, Bayedup7 ! A picture's worth 1000 words !
I think the TAC 408 bolt is .750 diameter, compared to the Rem .700" diameter.
There are arguments that the Rem should not be opened to the .590 Lapua
boltface. This would leave the same thin .055 edge rim thickness as a .750 bolt
with the .640 C-T/Gibbs boltface. That's what the picture is showing.
One of the arguments concerns strength of the locking lugs. At .590 boltface,
is the Rem strong enough ? Some say no. If the Rem strength is marginal,
how marginal are the TAC 408 locking lugs at .640 boltface ?
Now, I don't want to come across as picking on Stiller. Obviously there are
many TAC 408 rifles out there delivering excellent service.
My personal interest in all this is research for my next build.
( Comparing dimensions in different products is non-emotional, but sometimes
people think their toes are being stepped on. That is not my intent. )

You may have have the Tac 338 confused with the Tac 408 actions ...
hit the link below and read it carefully ... the Tac 338 for the 338 Lapua is larger than the Rem 700, there are also two Tac 408 actions 1.45" and 1.60" diameters for the larger 408 Chey Tac and wildcats on that case .......

Swamplord,
I was pretty sure, but I emailed Stiller again and my memory
was confirmed correct, the TAC 408 has a .750 bolt.
More info: the BAT Models L and CT both have a .720 bolt, even smaller.
I'm awaiting a reply from Chey-Tac USA on their bolt diameter.
