[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 95329, member: 12"] ArcherElk I hope you are using an incorrect term. It is possible to "rebore" a smaller caliber barrel into a larger caliber. However it is expensive and normal accuracy is nothing to use for LR. I think you are talking rebarreling which will cost about $450-500. If the gun shoots, then agree keep it as is, and just build a gun and caliber that you want. Decide if mag or not first. Would not recommend taking a 700 now and building up a true LR gun. 3-4 new custom actions(Stiller, Borden, Lawson) have come out in the $600 range that are much tighter than a 700 but loose enough for hunting, yet they are cheaper than a trued and accurized 700 action. Can add mags or not, short or long actions etc. Much better action to really build on now. BH [/QUOTE]
