I've got two that feed from blind magazines.

Did you have to do any modifications to the action to make it feed properly

[KRP]

Yes.

bogger, talk to Sinman he's built some. I believe the point of going to an 338 Edge is so you can use the standard magazines, could be wrong.

i figured i could use the lapua mag so i wouldn't have to do much modifications there but i was wondering how they would feed into a regular long action and if i did have any work to do the the action what would it be.

[sinman]

The problem is the action and not the mag as much, the distance between the front of the bolt to the front action screw is what limits you. That's why I developed the 338 sin.

i see.tell me more about the 338 sin.

I am running Accurate mags on my edge build. They take 3.79" col, it is the 3.85" they list on there website. I just pressed out the inside shoulders on the mag and tweaked it a little. It would probably be easier to just mill them out but I did not want the open slots in the mag. Its not quit done but the mag and feed work perfect.
I looked at the xlr stock and it should be a good one for an edge build. If you do not have a ultramag action you can have the rear of the mag opening opened up to feed the longer round.

Extend the magazine cut out, one way or another.
