If I were to build a large magnum, I'd want the most meat around the chamber. The only real way to do that with a Savage action is to loose the nut and have a shouldered barrel.
But, like I said before, it just way easier to stick with a regular magnum. Especially if you'll get more performance without excess cost or effort.
Savage has made large shank actions on the RUM's, WSM's, Precision Target Actions, and the 338 Lapuas.</div></div>
Thanks for clarifying that. As mentioned, I've only rebuilt smaller cartridges in the Savage actions.
I've always wondered how well a Win .338 that was optimized for speed and range would do against the .338 Edge and Lapua.
