Hi, guys.
Hope this is the right forum section to be asking this...
Anyway, I'm looking at a 338 lapua build for my next project. I'm going to get it custom built and looking at putting it onto an AICS stock.
With that in mind, am I stuck getting a Remington 700 long action and then having that modified to fire a 338 lapua, as what will fit onto an AICS is pretty much limited?
I was leaning more toward a custom action specifically designed and tailored for the 338 lapua, as in my opinion, it's better to use something as it was specifically manufactured for, instead of modifying it.
With that, I see that GAP's Templar long actions have bolt diameters good for 338 lapua. Specifically, will the Templar fit onto an AICS?
And lastly, I see a lot of 338 lapua builds on AICS stocks using the Badger M2008 action. The Badger website says their actions "can be fit" onto an AICS. Does that mean the stock chassis will have to be modified to accept a M2008?
Any info or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks, guys.
Ken
