[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 920511, member: 4809"] I'm with Mudrunner on this one. The least expensive route to make your current rifle into a decent LR rig would be the 280 AI. I know you want something bigger, but the 7mm bullet has a long and respected history in LR shooting. Ballistically, it gives up very little to the 7mm Rem Mag. If you feel you need a big 300 or 338 magnum, I wouldn't try to convert your current action. Just sell it as is and buy a used long action with a magnum bolt head. It will run you about $25 to $50 more, but that is still a lot less than what you would pay a smith to convert your current action. [/QUOTE]
