[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2798822, member: 116181"] I would shoot it like it is, not spend money converting it to anything else, and start building what you really want while shooting the RPR. Meaning if your friend will ream and set back the barrel for friend-price, sure why not do it, but if it's going to cost $300-500+ don't bother. Get a good action (I'd say Bat or Stiller for .590 bolt face), get someone good to work on it and put the trigger in, and get the action put into a McMillan stock by someone who knows what they're doing. Then you can change barrels and bolts whenever you want going forward. I order my actions with two bolts - .540 mag and .590 Lapua for the big gun - so I can run the 'flavor of the week' without changing anything else on the rifle. 33 XC was all the rage a couple years ago, but 338 Edge is the in-thing now apparently so that's what's on it at the moment.
