Just found this forum the other day, and after reading through old posts I had to sign up.

My question is if I was wanting to build a 338 edge rifle what base components will I need. I already have a 2 stevens 200 rifles. One is a 7mm-08 and the other is a 270. I got the buying bug when I walked into my local academy and they were $200 a piece. This is my first experiance with savage as I grew up with rem 700s, weatherby, and winchester. Both rifles are still in the box. Could iether be used as a build platform for the 338 edge? Now before anyone wants to talk me out of this caliber it is not a need that I have this caliber, but rather a want to. I really like the reviews of it from others, and now I want my own. I do not care if it is a reapeater or single. Also, if anyone can give me the costs that will be encoured with this project minus the stock, base, and optics that would be awsome.

Thank you, Travis
