OP Steve692 Campfire Regular Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 673 Indiana	I'm going to have a .473 bolt face opened up on a 700 Rem for Lapua 6.5x55 rims. Is this a big deal or can most 'smiths handle it? Any help is appreciated. Out of my wheelhouse God Bless "I realize that it is natural for the people who disagree with me to think I am wrong, and I am not so arrogant as to deny that possibility."
