[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1490237, member: 27307"] The Remington M700 series actions are all as strong as they need to be to build most variations of custom rifles, [B]within reason[/B]. The greatest asset of these actions is the large selection of aftermarket parts and accessories. Previously, they usually needed some attention from a good gunsmith to true up the surfaces for accuracy enhancement. Other than that, they have been utilized for a wide variety of cartridges up to and even including the .338 Lapua from Remington. Yes, I know some of the naysayers will be along to impress us with their distrust of that combination but Remington is standing by it. As an aside, I just examined another maker's action designed for the CheyTac cartridge and the 'ring of steel' around the rim and case head is just as thin as the Remington for the Lapua. This included an M16 extractor as well. Interesting since I have never found myself at a disadvantage using any two lug system under any circumstances. This does not discount the fact that some folks will find a degree of comfort using a multi-lug system as opposed to two lug but I personally don't find it to be a problem for the situations I hunt and compete in.
