[QUOTE="buckbrush, post: 257436, member: 13680"] After thinking about this for a while, and thanks to the great advice I've received, I am thinking about rebarreling an old Model 70 7 REM mag my dad gave me years ago. Something is wrong with the barrel. It would only shoot a 140 grain bullet 2600 fps, sprayed bullets everywhere and it was the hardest kicking gun I've ever shot so I stuck it in the closet. I think that would be the most cost effective thing to do. I guess now the question is, what caliber? I thought if I ever rebarreled that gun I would do another 7 REM mag but I also considered a 7 RUM but I don't think the magazine would house that round without a lot of machine work. I am not stuck on any caliber, I was thinking 300 WSM because of bullet selection. Thanks a bunch for all of the advice so far. [/QUOTE]
