[QUOTE="Nubba0681, post: 1696117, member: 108716"] i have a few short action 700 actions laying around. I want to build a 6.5 prc. Never have built a magnum short action rifle. Question... Can I use a standard short action for a 6.5 prc? Feed ramp? Feed rails? Other mods to the action? I know I have to get the bolt worked or buy a new one. I also know I could buy a custom action for a couple hundred dollars more. I want to use up what I have before I buy a thousand dollars worth of other parts. Already have barrel, trigger, bottom metal and stock. I would prefer actual 1st hand experience on the work that has to be done instead of something you’ve heard or read. I also have a 300 wsm Winchester model 70 but I know some smiths are not comfortable working on them for some reason. I prefer the 700 action beings I have all above listed components for a build but I’m not opposed to using the mod 70 if the short action is a complete pain in the A. I appreciate all the info!
