Gunsmithing sako 995 action

[Cw2]

I was wondering if anyone had any thought on if it is possible to turn the bolt face on this action . It was chamberd for the lazzeroni warbird and it is time for a rebarrel and I was thinking about chambering for 338 lapua, I thought that the parent cartrige for bolth was the 416 rigby but the lazeroni has a slightly smaller base. I have not miked it yet but the difference is very little.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Or if want an original bolt for 338 Lapua, Brownells has 'em
