I would like to know if it's possible to use a Stevens 200 long action to built a .338 Edge? The magazine is long enough? Action will handle the pressure without problem?

I don't think the magazine is long enough though you could do some cutting on your own to make it long enough. Some others on here have done it. The action itself is strong enough to handle the pressure.

The long action will be fine, the magazine and feed port will have to be lengthened if you want it be a repeater, may need a different bolt head as well depending on what caliber you have.

Yes you can, I have done quite a few of them. Most people make them single shots so they can use the full case for powder and not have to jump the bullets so far. That is why I developed the 338 Sin so you can have edge power but with a repeater.
