[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 487789, member: 10391"] I just rebuilt a pre 64 Mdl 70 30-06. I kept it a 06 for a whole bunch of reasons. I wanted to turn it into a 300 WM but after a lot of research found out to install a longer mag box in this model is really rough. I did not want to alter the receiver as I still have the original barrel. The rifle is on its forth barrel but the original stock was broke when a horse went down. You have a lot of options with that action without altering the mag box. You need to pick a smith and start knocking it around. I used a Brux barrel #5 contour finished at 25.5. Also used a McMillan Adj HTG stock pillar bedded. I used a Near picattiny rail that the smith bedded with Seekins rings and for now a Leupold scope. I stayed with the original trigger set at 3 lbs. I had the smith blue all the metal with a semi flat black to match most of the scope color's today. The rifle is shooting right around 1/2 MOA but am still working on the load. The rifle ended up at 11.25 lbs loaded and ready to go. I'm in about thirteen hundred bucks. PS If you change your mind and want to part with that action PM me. [/QUOTE]
