Savage Axis in . . . .458 Win Mag?

[kingdombuilder]

I have a 7 mm rem mag axis . The stock flexes way too much. I am ordering a Boyd's . The Magnum bolt head does not need to be filed down if you order a ptg short action Magnum bolt head. (made originally for wsm ). It fits exactly perfect firing pin protrusion ejection ect . I know others have used 300 win mag from the axis action. With that much recoil the action will need to be bedded well.

@Sharpshooter....if you were building a 458 WM, would you attach a lug in the barrel channel and then bed both the action and the forward lug, or something else? Would you add cross bolts?

On an Axis, I always cut the receiver face and add a full lug. I bed from the back of the lug to the rear pillar....on a wood stock.
