[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 6911, member: 637"] I have a 300 WSM rifle built on a 700 Rem. short action that is very competitive in F class matches to 1K. The conversion can be done and done safely and with excellent results. I have several wins with this rifle an have never finished lower than third. (Far more of a statement for the rifle than my ability) The rifle has very near 1400 rounds on it without a hint of a problem. BUT if I had it to do over I would use an action with the proper bolt face to begin with. A lot of work is required to modify the bolt face, exactor and the bottom metal and detachable box magazine from H.S. Precision added considerable cost to the rifle that could have been spent for items that are necessary to make it a good long range setup. Listen to Boyd and the rest of the crew they know of what they speak! Now it is off I go to the 1K match in Tullahoma, TN. tomorrow. Have a great Labor Day weekend everyone. Hold hard and good luck to all of you! [ 08-30-2003: Message edited by: RiverRat ] [ 08-30-2003: Message edited by: RiverRat ] [/QUOTE]
