lol any custom action maker should be able to change a lapua over to the RUM so you have a lot of options

Re: savage target actions

Contact Savage and ask them if their actions are capable of handling the cartridge's power, and if they can modify one of their actions in their custom shop to fit your cartridge base diameter.

Re: savage target actions

The Savage actions can handel the diameter of the RUM cases and the pressures , in actuality if the steel were the same the Savage would be stronger due to the smaller thread pitch , if the barrel is setup with the shoulder like the Remington
I'm not real framiliar with the Savage target actions but i think you may have issues ejecting loaded rounds due to the port size.

I'd drop a line to Kevin Rayhill , he is one of the better known Savage builders and i know he has several wildcats on the 338 Lapua case in Savage actions. Nathan Dagley also has done alot of builds on Savage actions , give him a call and disscuss your needs
