[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2810087, member: 113278"] F First he’s going to need a magnum bolt face bolt. I’m not sure if opening up the bolt face is economical verses an aftermarket or used magnum bolt. That’s going to eat up close to half his budget. A good trigger will eat up a third of his budget. That doesn’t leave much left to cut and thread his barrel. His best bet would be having the chamber cut to a 280ai. Most reputable smiths charge close to $400 for chamber, threads and crown. Then he has some budget left for a good trigger, possibly a bedding job don’t forget about the shipping will eat up $1-$150 also. I’ve had a couple 7mags and 280ai’s over the years. I always grabbed the 280ai for some reason. Even my first elk hunt I used a Mauser 98 280ai I assembled and the 7mag stayed in the case as a backup rifle. [/QUOTE]
