[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 624537, member: 13110"] You can build a Lapua on a Remington action and it's done all the time. Most don't really recommend it though because of how much the bolt face has to be opened. Probably the better choice is a slightly larger action like a Stiller TAC338 or a Defiance Machine with a .750 diameter bolt instead of the .700 diameter bolt of the Remington. There is actually a group buy for Stiller actions on snipershide.com right now and TAC338's are 810.00 shipped I believe. If you want to build it on a Remington Pacific Tool and Gauge sells drop in bolts and the factory bolt can be sold to recover about 1/2 the cost of the Lapua bolt. Then you would need a mag box or a clip and bottom metal. A cheaper and easier option would be a .338 Edge, especially if you bought a .300 RUM Sendero or LR rifle, as the Edge is based on a .300 RUM. The upside to the Lapua is really good brass and the upside of the Edge is it's cheaper to build. Both are really close in velocity. [/QUOTE]
