Ok I'm as dumb as they come on gunsmithing. With that said I picked a 30-06 tikka up this evening off the neighbor kid for dirt cheap. I've always wanted a 338-06 . Would this be a good platform to make into a 338-06? I know the bolt would work . Should just be a barrel swap correct??
I've been watching all our local shops around for a cheap savage or Stevens to do this project with and could never find one suitable. For what I got this for I could stay well under what I'd planned on possibly spending. That is if tikkas are fairly easy to do a swap on . I've got several gun smiths fairly close . I've just never owned a tikka before or messed with any smithing at all
