[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 427731, member: 8927"] I had my 30/06 opened up to .534 for a 7mm mag. It was quite simple, the smith installed a Sako extractor at the same time. To go to .585 is no different , however I don't know if you will find many smiths that will do it. A Chrome-moly reciever is better to use than a stainless one. The Lilja website under articles has a good reason why not to do it. I assume that if you are opening the bolt face up you are probably going to get the action trued etc. At the end of the day, if you work out what you could sell the action for and the cost of all the improvements a custom action will not be much more expensive and will have better resale value.
