[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 877646, member: 5219"] It may be easier to trade or sell your current Remington and get one that was made as a Remington Ultra Mag. While the bolt face can be opened up to magnum diameter by a gunsmith, the feed rails will also have to be opened to accommodate the larger diameter case. As for a barrel: you could go inexpensive and get a new Rem takeoff barrel for either chambering for approx. $60. After that you would have to get a custom barrel by any number of manufacturers. Here is a list of many of the custom barrel makers with a few explanations thanks to Accurate Shooter's website: [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/barrels.html]Premium Barrels[/url] Once you get the barrel of your choice, it will have to be installed by a gunsmith. The takeoffs would require checking headspace requiring a possible setback and rechambering. The new barrels will require several machining operations to get it installed to your action. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
