I don't think so. The locking lugs on the 40X bolt are located in the rear of the ejection port, not the front like the Remington 700.

went through the same thoughts about 8 mths ago, this is what i found out:
CMP 40X build, what do I need?
^^there's some prices and sources of supply throughout that post, along with associated helpful links.
sdwhirlwind and dfoosking was a big help in getting info on 40x's, if you go the 40x route, shoot them a PM. they are great guys that'll help you out.
as much as i'd love to have a 40X, after settling on getting a CZ455, i like don't regret going with the cz. new parts that are available and option of caliber change. it'll be only a matter of time before many match barrels are available for the 455, taking it to the next level.
plus, i was able to get one heck of a rifle AND optics for under $800.00, adding up the 40x build, it's around $800.00 without optics.

Simply put. Yes it can be done. XP pistols ahve been done using 40x bolts. However most smiths do not have it in them to make the modifications and if they do you would spend far more than the price of a built 40x.
Buy a CZ or an Anschutz. An Anschutz will often outshoot a 40x and at least its equal.
