yeah, the chey tac is way too big for a remmy.
2 years ago a smith named kirby allen, designed a cartridge called the 338 Allen Mag, basicly its a 338/408 C.T. improved, built on an armalite AR-50 action and fitted with a 2" straight 34" lilja barrel, in testing he took a rockchuck at 2,370 yards, any wonder I got him to build my LR rig?

Btw the lazzaronia's are pretty impressive but I have not found anyone who could match lazz's published specs when reloading for them, he loads his ammo with .001 undersized coated bullets.

And all his balistics are with a scope 2" above the bore instead the of 1.5" that most others use. Not sure if that makes a big difference or not though, just something I noticed...
