Hi all.
Can anybody tell me which is the most popular actions used for the 338lm ane approxaimetly how much

There are many actions used, one that surprised me was the Remington 700 which is popular outside of the UK. Personally I like the Sako actions for the .338LM as an alternative to Accuracy International.

I guess the remmy is a strong action.they seem to need abit of
TLC to true them up.I would like a remmy or clone so to fit it into an AICS long action stock.ideally I would like a AI awm.

To be honest - the Remmy, with its massive ejection/feed port and mag cut-out is very flimsy especially for a 338. It'd not be my choice.

Would it really be a much bigger port than a sako.
Are were talking 338 lapua magnum sako actions Ovenpaa.
Hi GP. What action would you suggest for the 338 build that fits the l/a AICS stock. Berger

I agree with the Gun Pimp, I did not have a warm feeling shooting the 700 with hand loaded ammunition and soon handed it back. Sako - TRG-41 or 42 as obvious choices also the TRG-S might handle the length of the 338LM. As an alternative what about the 338 Win Mag? I built a dummy round yesterday for a job however it is now with the customer. The cartridge opens up a host of opportunities with suitable Tikka and Sako donor rifles readily available. As an example I was offered an as new Tikka .338WM very recently for GBP750 with wriggle room on the price and a local shop has a synthetic/stainless Sako 338LM for similar money.

I am fine with a sako action but it then limits me on stock choice.i am not familiar with the 338 win mag.to be honest I am getting fed up with trying to sort a hme calibre.so far it's not worked out.i don't really want to look down the route of another calibre.i have a 338 lapua magnum on my ticket so I will stick with it. for your thoughts.

Just get a TRG, wont need an AI chassis then. Good strong action, great trigger, accurate...

I was looking at the TRG the weekend . asthetically I prefer the skeleton style butt.i don't like the other style . surprisingly there is very few used 338 lapua magnums for sell.maybe I am looking in the wrong places.if anybody goes to the shooting show as sees one.post the rifle.price and gun dealer.that would be great.definately cheaper to buy a semi custom than build one.

GT shooting in Coulsdon have got a TRG42 in 338. Been there for a long time. I think it is £2395 and apparently has had very little use.
