[QUOTE="dmr400, post: 506062, member: 33691"] First, thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies. 2 things...I hadn't considered barrel life. 2nd, the mention of the model 70 action reminded me I have a (barely) post 64 model 70 in 308 I could use as a base for this project. Would an action this old be a viable one for a LR rifle? Second, what caliber for the short action? I'm tempted to just put a quality 308 barrel on it because of the availability of premium ammo, but is there a better choice? [/QUOTE]
