[QUOTE="woods, post: 237365, member: 6042"] Hey soren My favorite rebarrel for a 300 win mag is to a 6.5 rem mag. Same bolt face and the mags are always plenty long enough to seat the bullets way out [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1163.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/GUNS/HPIM1162.jpg[/IMG] You could also rebarrel to one of the RUM's. I just rebarreled a 338 win mag to a 338RUM and have no feeding problems. There is only .001" difference in the case head and I didn't have to do any bolt face work. I do have to seat the bullets deep in the case to fit the mag though. One caution on rebarreling the Sako; I rebarreled a Sako Model 75 in 270 win to a 280AI and had a minor problem with that 3rd bolt lug hitting the top of the next case in the mag at the case-body/shoulder junction when ejecting a round. Had to take a little off the bottom edge of that lug to keep it from hitting. [/QUOTE]
