Well okay, I'll bring it up long as no one else has. In Nosler #5 the 338-06 A-Square has a Max SAAMI OAL of 3.440" . One would be damn hard pressed to get that length in a 98 unless you plan on a major magazine job. My FN lets me seat a 200gr SP Hornady in the middle of the cannnuelure with a 2.484" trim job for an OAL of 3.332" and that is to tight. If you don't lengthen your magazine you have to short seat the bullets and how does that add to your case capacity? So buy a M700LA and rebarrel it to cash in on the 3.6"+ mag length. Hey build it to shoot, not swoon over. You asked for opinions,I gave you mine at no charge.Magnum_Man
