[QUOTE="Lexington, post: 994119, member: 41017"] I have a Stainless Win Model 70 (CRF, Ultimate Shadow model) in 7mm Rem Mag that I want to convert to 7mm Wby Mag. Hoping to get suggestions/tips/advice from others who have had chambers reamed/ done Weatherby conversions. All metal parts on the rifle have been cerakoted. Is this going to complicate the process? Will the gunsmith need to remove the barrel, or is this a process that can be done with everything in-tact? Once the barrell is removed, should I have the gunsmith do any additional work? Lap the lugs, etc? Am I going to be forecd to buy a new barrel? Right now the gun isn't the tightest grouping rifle.... what are the odds my accuracy will improve? I'm not a reloader - plan on using factory ammo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I originally purchased the rifle because it was the only one available in the state at the time (in Stainless steel), and I wanted the Magnum sized action for future conversions. Thanks, Lexington [/QUOTE]
