Lori gave me a "thumbs up" on the Mausingfield in 338-06 with a Cadex chassis.  There are some specifications to work out, but looks like I'll be making some orders sometime after the first of the year.

I love my Mausingfield. Built mine in 22-250. Have a second action sitting in my safe if anyone want to buy it. Or until I decide what else to build.

Should be an AWESOME 338-06, especially the bolt knob.  Excellent

Agreed 😂

What's wrong with the stock?  I like it.   As a matter of fact, I may get one for an interim until I get what I really want.  The CADEX is way cool, but doesn't fit my purposes.

I’m old fashioned those stocks are butt ugly. I understand their purpose and if I were a long range shooter I’d probably consider one. Traditional hunting is my choice.

That rifle is not a hunting rifle. It is too heavy to carry comfortably. It needs to be quite accurate because the way we measure BCs is to use two radars 300 yds apart so that we can track the bullet 400 yds and get velocity reading every yard.We like to put the bullet within 3-4 inches of the downrange radar that is protected by an AR500 gong.

I've decided mine is going to be a pure hunting rifle… I'm going to have a wooden stock made for it.  As for heavy… still doesn't bother me.   I'll TRY to keep it as liight as I can, but the action starts out at 5 lbs.  Most likely will go with a 24 inch barrel.  Looking at exhibition grade walnut.  
I really like the CADEX chassis, but not for this rifle.

Nice choice. The beauty of this action is that you could switch stocks, depending upon what type of shooting you will be doing, and not change the zero. The CADEX strike nuke is similar to the Mag Pul. You could hunt comfortably with the wood stock and stretch out the your target practice to beyond 1000 yds with a chassis style stock.

That's what I've been reading… read a "blog" by a BR shooter who said he swapped chassis three different times "just to see" and experienced zero change in POI.  Of course, those chassis had been previously "set up" for that action/barrel.  Still, impresses me...

Though the website says it weighs 5 lbs, that’s obviously a mistake. The long action with rail included weighs 2 lb 4 oz.

I was shocked when I saw 5 lbs.  Glad you posted a correction Ted.

So if it is a remington foot print, what have they done to it so it can move from stock to stock without changing zero?

Nothing. It’s the same as any other Rem footprint action being interchanged between properly bedded stocks/chassis. Unless there is variable pressure against the barrel, the stock hasn’t warped and stressed the barreled action, and provided you torque screws the same, you can remove from stock and replace without zero shift. That fact isn’t unique to the Mausingfield.

Good to know the weight is half the advertised.  
As for POI changes after changing stocks, I don't have a lot of experience with Remington based systems, think I've only owned two ever.  However, I've always been told that Remington actions are more susceptible to "movements".  Perhaps, that is the point being made by Mausingfield… they don't have that problem.

The Mausingfield is a 1.35" dia cylindrical action with a recoil lug up front and 2 mounting screws, just like a Rem 700. In order to fit stocks designed for Rem 700, it has to have the same dimensions. Cylindrical actions are self-centering in properly bedded stock inletting. If the recoil lug area has been bedded, the action can only fit in the stock in one orientation. The same applies to all custom actions having Rem 700 footprint dimensions, along with the Rem 700 itself.
