[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1315113, member: 24284"] Any time a receiver is re-barreled you face the possibility of having feed 'issues'. The possibilities are lessened if you are going, from say, .30/06 to .270 Win. or .25/06, or from 7mmRem Mag to .300 Win Mag. Going from .30/06 to .300 Win Mag by changing the bolt and barrel will, at minimum, require the follower be changed to a magnum follower. The feed rails and ramp [I][B]may[/B] [/I]need attention, too. Come to think of it, the feed cycle can be improved on about any 700. Many, if not most, wish we lived in a "drop-in" world, but that isn't the reality of the world, unless you're talking ARs or Salvages. And even then, troubles can arise. [/QUOTE]
