[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 135158, member: 4785"] Hi as the barrel is only 22" and is not a real tack holer i would look at at least rebarreling with a diferent cartrige. If you want the easiest modification a 280 Ackley Improved would be my first option but if you are wiling to put a bit more into it a 26" slim profile barrel in a magnum of some sort the 7mm Rem Ultra MAg would be a good option or the 300 Ultra or 338 Edge will all give you better performance. If the deer are on the smaler size a 270 Allen MAg or 270-7mm Ultra mag with long 165 or 195gr Wildcat projectiles would be awsome or just the 7mm Ultra with a 9 twist and 200gr Wildcat projectiles you will have an awsome long range powerline rifle. Have the action squared larger recoil lug fitted adjust the trigger pillar bed the action fit a good Muzzle Break and go for it. Shawn also has an adjustable cheek piece that can be fitted to make an awsome rifle. Also tha bolt will have to have a Sako type extractor fitted and opened to magnum size i would fit a Wyats extended mag box aswell. If you want great barrel life go the 338 Edge if you want all out performance go either of the 270's or 7mm Ultra MAg. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
