[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 23244"] There is a compnay out their that is modifing rem 700 la to work with 338 lm. You have to open the bolt face and like Dantec said the bolt face would only have a small amount of metal to surround the base of the case. The other thing you have to do is mill out th eback side of the magazine well cutout to accomodate the longer OAL. You must then mill the same amount off the bolt stop and possibly make a new bolt stops as you dont have much before you wont have any bolt stop at all. I think about .375 thou would be max before you had to make a new bolt stop part. I think that your best bet would be using the 300/338 Ultra, or 300 Tomahawk. Brass is cheap and although it isnt as good as Lapoopa, the money versus the case is just to expensive. [/QUOTE]
