I've got a single shot Nesika 'M' action on a Krieger tube in 338 Lapua Improved.
Im going to split it and have the barrel lightened and fluted , and am in contact with Nesika about having the action turned into a repeater .

It was built as a barrel block set-up , and I'll be building a chassis similar to an Elisio S-1 setup for the Savage ->SEEN HERE <- , except the action will be floating in the stock ( as opposed to mounting with the action and the barrel being floated )

The HS-Precision set-up I can mount solid to the receiver with posts in place of the stock .....but is only a 3-shot mag.
Is there another set-up like the HS but with larger mags ? Or is there someone making higher capacity mags for the HS ?
 
Re: A detachable mag system for Nesika action in 338LM

I worked for Nesika.

With a single shot chances are you have a bolt set up for a cone breech. Unless your willing to buy a new bolt your action likely won't work as the bolt face geometry will be reluctant to strip a case off the feed lips. The 3/4" diameter M bolt may also create an issue when converting. Every Nesika repeater I've seen uses a flat bolt face design to facilitate feeding. You might call Glen Harris at Defiance Machine and double check with him.

It might but in the 3 years I worked there as the manager of the rifle building dept we never did one this way.

Just beware.

Good Luck
