"If you are dead set on a repeater, start with a Remington 700 SPS. They are much more well suited for RUM based repeaters."

Pardon my ignorance but why is that? I've messed with a few 700's over the years but never in a cartridge that size and it's been a while since I've looked closely at one. They never appealed to me as much as they do to the die hard Remington fans. The Savage action is pretty long so that's why I was wondering. Does the 700 have a longer magazine cutout? I really wish Hornady would commercialize the 338 Campfire/338 Ruger.
