[QUOTE="Grubby, post: 523586, member: 35066"] First of all, I am new to the forum and I love it. I have been using my 223 Winchester 70 for quite some time. I bought the savage with the idea of doing custom work to it to make it a helper out to 800 yards to edges of my property. Now, 10 years later...I am ready to mod. The 223 is very accurate out to 300 so I have been awfully complacent. My questions for you: can my action be made into a 308 or possibly a 338 with minimal cost? I am already anticipating replacing trigger, stock, brake and barrel in the project. I just want to know what cost or work is involved in rechambering. I may not do it, just curious. I would love to get some version of a 338 for Energy sake, if that's not practical the to a 308 for availability of ammo and price. I am just starting the learning process...I may end up putting I together myself so I could use suggestions on parts such as those mentioned above and a good read(article, thread or book) on the process. I am in no hurry, I actually am planning on buying piece by piece to maximize my spending and then have it smithed together. I appreciate you taking the time to read and help me out, Grub [/QUOTE]
