    Gunsmithing Oversized Actions for 338 Lapua?

    17lbs sounds close to what I would like, maybe 15lbs total with a thinner profile, 26" barrel. Approximately how much weight would an Al receiver save over a steel receiver?

    Gunsmithing Oversized Actions for 338 Lapua?

    Thanks for the info. Would prefer a repeater, but I don't mind hearing about single shots also. Took a look at the Python, it's aluminum with steel insert, but rifles built on it are estimated at 17lbs!

    Question About Rebarreling to Larger Caliber

    Hi all, I'm considering my options for a future build. If I build a custom .308 rifle based on a long action (Surgeon/BAT/Defiance), what are some problems that may arise if I want to rebarrel to .300 WM or .338 LM after the .308 barrel has been shot out? Thanks for your help.
