[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 708241, member: 15229"] I like my 336 30-30 Marlin, that is a great walk in the woods rifle, love it. I like levers too. Just saying, if I were to buy another one, or an 1895 chambered in 450 Marlin or 45-70, I wonder if I could re barrel that in 308 and use the case and neck it down to 308. There would be a lot more power and I could load a heavy accurate 30 cal spire point for longer first shot or single loading,in the range of 400 or so.Dumb idea? Possible to neck it down, if in an 1895 action, they are already set up to feed and extract the round. The bolt face is already correct. The oal could be a consideration? Got the idea. What do you think? Okay to be honest, it's just a thought right now. [/QUOTE]
