[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1082659"] Congratulations on a nice buy! If I wasn't so heavily into Weatherby's the 783 would have been a route I would have gone. I wasn't aware of the Marlin X7. So close in design. Same parent corporation. As for what to do.... Don't spend all your "profit" on gas and gun show fees. IMO it would be better as a gift. For the keepers: Many barrel makers now do prefit 783. I am partial to Pac-Nor but the wait is long. NSS, of course. These should be Criterion barrels. Stocks, same sort of. Boyds have many varieties and I am nothing but happy about them. Trigger, haven't found much. Maybe the "crossfire" is tunable enough. Calibers, you would probably enjoy a 25, 6.5 and a 30 or 7mm. Chamberings: If It Were Me (IIWM) You have a 270 so that's covered. 25-06 optionally with an improved shoulder 35° or 40° (AI) 6.5 Sherman 280 optionally with an improved shoulder 35° or 40° (AI) and of course you could keep one more and go 30-06 with a stock, bedding and floating and some tuning.
