I have an early 1990s Remington M700 ADL in 270 win. I'm thinking of building a semi custom rifle using the action and was just wanting to know what my options are with this action?
Thanks,

What would you like to use the rifle for? [/QUOTE said:Mainly target shooting. But deer would definitely be on the list, with the possibility for Elk if I ever get drawn for the ones here in eastern KY.
I have been salavating over the 338 caliber rifles for some time on this site but not sure if I need something that large and expensive to shoot.
35 wheelen, 338ai, 30-06, 280, 280ai, 270, 6.5-06(wildcat), 25-06, 240 weatherby, You have a long action so why play with short action rounds. You could put a mag bolt in or have yours worked over, but a new one is around $300, and a work over won't be much less.
About 400 fps slower on a 225 grain. It will do 2971 fps with a 180(nosler#6), but the 225 has fallen to 2595 fps (nosler#6) with top loads. It looks like a-square standardized the 338-06 with the standard shoulder, but in that cal., it won't make much difference because there isn't much shoulder. My brother has a 35 wheelen and is very fond of it, but it's your call.Is there a big difference in the ballistic performance of the 338 RUM and 338AI?
