You will need to get the .338 barrel chambered for the cartridge and installed by a gunsmith. He will cut it to your desired length as well. Mine is 21" and suits me well.

Quickest will be to buy a .338 barrel blank from Jury, Benchmark, JC, International etc. They might even have one on the shelf if you're lucky. You can buy SS or chromemoly if you prefer. Chromemoly barrels are usually in the 'white' and will need to be blued.

Tell your barrel maker/supplier that you want the factory contour for your rifle.

Your 'smith can provide options such as bedding the action and free floating the barrel, trigger work, etc.
Good luck!
