[QUOTE="txaggie1, post: 2810101, member: 113838"] A few years ago before everything skyrocketed in cost I found a 300 wby lh model to use as a doner for 7mmstw with 1-8 twist I was itching for to shoot heavies. All that was required was a barrel swap and I did so with batlien. The only issue I personally had to work with was fitting those 195 grain Berger bullets in the mag is one tight fit! As mentioned several times you have allot of variables going against you on this conversion. If he’s stuck on this fun, I would say 280ai is the closest most realistic to deal with and not get crazy. Or as many suggested perhaps sell this if in decent shape 700’s have a decent following. Sell and start fresh - affordable factory rifles in prc fit I desire to shoot heavy bullets itch. Or find a cheaper/affordable doner like I did and make a barrel swap, all the changing all thag other stuff you will most likely wish you had then have a rifle you can’t sell if your just done with the project. Good luck, let us know what he decides and how it goes [/QUOTE]
