[QUOTE="RCMSTER, post: 1559423, member: 54689"] I have recently acquired a winchester model 70. It has a 26" heavy stainless barrel with a H-S precision stock with the full bedding block. I was told winchester had Wilson manufacture the barrels for this rifle. It has had minimal rounds or possibly no rounds put through it. Actually, it was one of those "whoops" acquisitions by putting a bid in on this rifle without really thinking it through. Anyway, its chambered in 308 Winchester. I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to have it rechambered to something like a 300 rcm, which I already have, or perhaps a 300 wsm. Something a little more exciting anyway. I don't really have a purpose in doing so, other than I just want too. I don't really shoot long range, as in past about 500 yards. I don't have the skills to do so, first off. Eyesight isn't what it used to be 35 years ago. I'm not blind by any means, but 35 years ago, I could shoot 1" groups @ a hundred with a peep sighted remington 760 pump rifle, but alas, them days are way long gone. Just interested in people's opinions that are more knowledgeable and skilled than I am. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
