Nice setup

What is your intended application?

What model is it forr, and what pattern stock is it?

You might call Chad Dixon, he can do so pretty miraculous turnarounds with excellent results if you need it rather quickly.

:)

I still like the unique at about 7 grains. Your mileage may vary.

This is a good point, and good advice. The Remington is the "small block Chevy" of rifle actions as far as parts and do-dads pre made.

So, you could build a 300 Win Mag off of a Long Action ( 30 06' ) pre 64 Winchester Model 70 by opening up the bolt face, and perhaps a follower change/mod.

What Caliber are you contemplating? Long action ( 06') model 70's are plentiful, the rifles selling for the equivalent of a quality action. The valuable ones are the oddball caliber pre-war model 70's. ( valuable being relative)

Sorry, I didnt articulate my thought properly. Yes, a Model 70 is a Model 70. :) . I meant, you could most likely pick up a very nice pre-war M-70 for the $$$ or less than you might spend on a "New" iteration of the M-70. Your project sounds like an exciting one. We will look forward to seeing...

Dakota Arms -- Fine Hunting and Safari Rifles Here you go, very fine actions. However, why not use a WInchester CRF for your custom? San Diego Ken's BAD *** P64 Winny Build - Sniper's Hide Forums I did, worked out very well.

I have had outstanding performance on Elk with the 168 Berger VLD hunting out to 600.

I apologize, it appears you are offended by my opinion. That wasn't my intention. For the intended game, a 300 Weatherby, for example, gives near performance and is more efficient as is a 300 Win Mag.

I personally think there are better choices than the 30-378. It burns an exotbitant amount of powder (recoil) compared to its near performance counterparts.
