[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1020517, member: 711"] I believe the 700 will handle a bit longer cartridge than the 70. I know you can use the 700 for .375 H&H, and those are 3.6 inches long overall. If I am not mistaken, the 70 standard long action is some shorter and won't take that much length. I recently "boarded" a 70 .375, and compared it to my .338 Win Mag model 70. The bigger gun's receiver was noticably longer. The Lott makes a [I]lot[/I] of pressure, no pun intended. Everything must be just right when you are getting anywhere near design limits on receivers. I would be more comfortable using something stronger, and unfortunately, quite a bit more expensive. CB [/QUOTE]
