    m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338?

    Re: m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338? If I choose the AI action then I am getting the complete rifle. I just need to know that it is worth the extra coin over a rifle built with a Badger or Surgeon receiver. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By...

    m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338?

    Re: m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338? Well, I know that Surgeon does make a version that fits. I dont know if they would sell just the action that way or if its only for their own builds though. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1607439

    m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338?

    Re: m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338? Since the Surgeon XL is one of the other receivers I was considering I would really appreciate a fully objective comparison of the 3 (AI, M2008, Surgeon) as well. I was planning on using an AICS stock, if that matters.

    m2008 compared to the AI receiver in 338?

    Im thinking of getting another .338 and I was wondering about how the Badger m2008 compares to the AI receiver. They look very similar to me. Well, what I mean is that externally the Badger looks more like an AI action than like a Rem 700 action. Anyone ever compare them both?

    Rem. 700P 338 Lapua seating bullets into rifling

    Re: Rem. 700P 338 Lapua seating bullets into rifli Thanks Articman, I've already done that and the result was that that length was shorter than factory ammo. Basically factory ammo will seat about 30 thou into the rifling and it's hard as hell to close the bolt. So I can't shoot factory ammo...
