That is an over blown concern
388 Lapua on a M-700 action with Seekins detachable box magazine that allows for a COAL of 3.9"set up for long range hunting
You know, I don't doubt that it is, or they wouldn't be doing it. When I look at the difference between the 700 boltface, and the one on my Sako, it still concerns me, there just isn't much material there on the 700 face. Not saying I would never shoot one, or own one, or anything like that. It is something I would inspect often, that's all. Nice rifle, and even nicer OAL. That would get 'em moving.
