Predator TAC 338, What stock works?
I was hoping to use the AICS stock, anyone tried it?
What stocks work with this action?

Also who has detachable box mag bottom metal for it? Sorry to hijack your thread, but it sounds like were both getting ready for a very similar project.

H-S bottom and McMillan or any stock for a remington works. Have built 3 guns on a preditor action one 22/250 a 375H-H and 338 lapua

Are you guys saying that the 700 LA stock will work? I understood that this action was longer?

Do you want me to call Jerry Stiller for you?

The TAC338 is .050" larger in diameter and .465 longer. That should be very easy to do on a long action stock.

Jerry said the recoil lug is .300 also. Use Badger or BDL bottom metal as the bolt spacing is the same as Remington.

Seekins precision makes the best bottom metal if you want a 338 Lapua. You can load the 300 grainers wayout. Manners stocks makes great stocks and the wait is weeks instead of months like Mcmillan.
