[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 817812, member: 12995"] I know I know I know........I am officially a hypocrite....... There is a Rem 700 stainless jeweled .338 WinMag for sale in my local classifieds for a smokin deal! It has a B&C black/white web finish stock, a cheap Burris scope, decent base, and ammo. I am meeting the guy in a little bit when I get off work. Should I keep it the .338 WinMag, ream to .338 RUM and put a Wyatt's extended box mag, or do I just snatch everything off, and put a 7mmSTW barrel on it and have another STW? Also, since it is a magnum action, would I, or would I not be able to convert it to a standard action, due to the wider feed rails? Or are the feed rails on a .338 WM the same as a standard action, but the only difference being the bolt face opening? In other words, by swapping a few things around, would I still be able to make a .280 AI out of this action just by swapping bolts, or is it not possible since it is a magnum action? [/QUOTE]
