[QUOTE="Almondgrower, post: 1662876, member: 106582"] I have a really nice rem 700 classic that was like new and I bought it cheap. It been sitting in the safe for quite a while and I thought that would be a perfect barrel swap to go to a 6.5 PRC. This rifle has open sights on the barrel adding to my reason for a barrel swap . I’ll bed the factory wood stock and add a premium trigger also. I really like this rifle as it is and it’s very handy and nice looking too. I realize by the time I do the work it will be approaching custom parts but that’s not what I’m going for . I like to compleat projects that will look like a factory gun offering but with lots of improvements ( under the hood ) I figured I would tru up the action and add a premium barrel . Since 30cal is my favorite, I’m going to save the compleat build for the 300 PRC next . My question is : the bolt face diameter is the same on both ,the sammi overall length is about a 1/4” longer on the 7mm. Any feed/mag issues to think about ? Just making sure I’m not missing/forgetting something before I move forward . Is a rem 700 wsm donor a better idea with mag box mods ? Thoughts /input ?? Thank you [/QUOTE]
