Gunsmith looking for a 338 Lapua action for a custom build. Let me know what is available. Condition and cost. Thank you

A P14, P17 action or with out much work cz 550 magnum actio will work. A Less Bauska BBK2 action will also work.

I’m sure he is aware of Bat Magnum actions ?


Or cannibalizing a wore out barreled action with a shot out barrel. An old savage BA or Remington?

Yup. I would stop here. Second bet would be a Deviant/Ruckus from Defiant. Keep an eye open on long range huntings website. Unless you have a barrel already, you may be able to pick up a BA there.
 
I have passed the information to the gunsmith. I will wait to hear his thoughts. Thanks for the assistance,
 
Kelbly actions. The Atlas and the Prometheus are both made with the .585 bolt face as an option. I have a Prometheus and it is my favorite action period.
 
I had a custom 338 Improved Lapua built on a "Stiller TAC 338" action over five years ago and I do not regret having chosen it any way shape or form. It's performed flawlessly it mounted in a McMillan stock with "sniper fill" just to add weight and stability. It's definitely not light but it completely fills the bill for what I intended its use to be.
 
You would save a ton of money buying a finished dialed in project or started project on the “long range hunting forum” some completely dialed and finished projects sell for the price of a new action

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
