[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1950773, member: 109113"] I would, too - but first I'd make sure that they feed from the magazine from this rifle. They may have opened up the feed rails on the underside of the action for the WSM-sized cartridges, and they may be too wide to keep the 7mm/08 cartridges corralled in the magazine box. The bolt face diameter may also not be right. I don't think that the Model 70 bolt face is recessed like a Remington, but it's worth checking. You wouldn't need to re-barrel the rifle to find out if this would work - just try some of the cartridges you plan to re-barrel to and see if they work, before spending the $$$$ and getting a big surprise.
