HI
I am wanting to change my Remington 700 300 win. mag to a Remington 7mm saum

If so, did you have to get one of the long actions with a small shank or a large shank? Also, can they be made into repeaters, or will the length limit you to single loading?

I would either like to knock the finish down or respray it in a satin poly or whatevery is most appropriate. I figured I would sand it down with a scotch brite maron (very fine) then light gray (ultra fine). Figure if it's not to my standards then its already prepped to be shot with satin.

Barrel swapping is not a prime concern, consistency and accuracy are!!! ]]> Gunsmithing bigngreen http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f37/nut-not-nut-60651/
