[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 686843, member: 17128"] "So my question is whether a 7mm mag action is essentially the same as a 280? " Short answer: No, the 7 mag action uses a mag bolt face. The bottom of the action is also different... If you want a 280 just use a 30-06 / 270 action. "Or are there other calibers that would work for building a 280 off of a 700 action?" You could build a 7mm SAUM from a 7mm mag action. Very similar to a 280 AI + in power. I built one and I like it a lot. [/QUOTE]
