[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 337399, member: 20047"] Guys please help a relatively newcomer to wildcatting and rifle building. I got really lucky this week and picked up a model 700 bdl 6x284 with trued action, sako extractor and match grade hart barrel, 1 in 10 twist for a screaming deal. Only had 100 rounds through it. I got it from a reputable person. On my top ten list of good fellows now! LOL It put me in a jam because I do not have infinent resources and I already had a 243 wssm in the safe. So I have finally managed to get a trade offer of a 30-06 model 700. I had no takers when trying to sell it outright. That leaves me with the following long arms, 6x284, 25.06 sendero and an existing 30-06 Marlin MR-7 (my current favorite whitetail /mule deer rig). Although the 6x284 may become my go to for whitetails now.... I need to determine if I can build this remington 30-06 into something special that seperates it from the other three or my familial responsabilities will force me to sell the new aquisition. So, Any ideas out there? I can justify keeping it if it fills a solid nitch. I am not too sure what I can get away with as far as reworking the bolt as far as diameters and such. I had been considering a 338 Norma but I am not sure this can be accomplished on this action. But something similar perhaps???? [/QUOTE]
