[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1360764, member: 23486"] If your 300wm barrel is indeed toast, you have a great platform to build what you want. Not that there's anything wrong with one more rig in your stable... :D The next question to answer is: What type of competitions are you wanting to compete in? F-Class or PRS style? Between the RPR and Stealth, I vote RPR even though I prefer Savage over Ruger. Savage really missed the mark with the Stealth (IMHO). It's fugly & I seriously question the ergonomics of that chassis... If I were in your shoes, I'd rebarrel the M70 but it does leave you with a few caveats: 1. It's a long action. Not that you can't run a SA cartridge thru it but... why? 2. Mag bolt face. Doing a bolt swap on a M70 is probably going to cost you a good bit more that it would on a M700... [B]IF[/B] you decide to run the STD bolt face. [SIZE=2](I honestly don't know the $$, I don't have any M70's.)[/SIZE] 3. You can easily exceed the cost of a RPR while rebuilding your M70. Barrel blank= ~$325. Action truing=~$275 Fitting barrel= $300-$500 depending on options. Stock upgrade= $300-$3000 depending on wants. Trigger= $100 (Timney). As you can see, it adds up quick. Either way, you're right in that $1000-$1500 price range. t [/QUOTE]
