[QUOTE="trebark, post: 482579, member: 19172"] Three questions... 1. Are you planning to just rechamber the current barrel? 2. Are you planning to rebarrel? 3. What is your intended use for the rifle? *************** 1 & 3. If you rechamber, you are limited to 30cal cartridge. I think Elkaholic is right that a good option is 300wsm. It shoots fast, flat and delivers a ton of energy. Does that match up with your intended use? 2 & 3. If you rebarrel, then the sky is the limit in terms of the cartridge you choose. There are many awesome cartridges in 6.5mm, 7mm and 30cal to choose from. My 308 was converted to a 260Rem. It is awsome and I use it for targets, varmints and deer.
