Ray, Are you talking the .338 Win Mag vs the .338-06? Is the Remington 700 long action the same regardless of magnum or standard cartridge? I thought I had to go with a standard cartridge because my stock is inleted for my current .270.
Also, though the .338 win mag may be the perfect Elk cartridge, I have had good luck with my 7mm mag, haven't lost an Elk yet. But I have to admit there has been occasion where it took more than one shot to anchor it down right there. One the other hand I have a one shot kill on a much larger bull Moose.

I'm pretty sure that there's no such thing as a "magnum" M700 action. The differences between say a 30-06 and .338 Win mag in a M700 are in the bolt fact and feed rails/ramp... but not the action itself.
That sound right, good peoples of the Campfire?

... as to your question of whether any changes were made, I would expect that they sort of standardized on certain dimensions when they went to CNC machinery. I don't know what that was. Prior to that I think there was a little more variation from piece to piece.
Not enough to matter in a stock, I don't think, especially since you'd be bedding it anyway.
