[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2172381, member: 101791"] Used rifles you don't know anything about unless you personally know the person that had it built or purchased. You don't know what chamber is like unless bore scope to look at it. Me I would have to have somebody look and tell me. I know that Wby generally have a lot of free bore in them. A lot of the time people are selling the rifle because they can't get to group. Somebody has a lot of rifles do get tired of them and want something else and wife is looking over his shoulder. I am wondering if you can go back and get the correct bolt for it. You will still need to have it check out by a gunsmith. The other is a 378 at the belt is .604 and 270Wby is .531. That .063 difference and at the belt. I would think the changes from a fired case and unfired case would have been noticeable. I am wondering why somebody hasn't come in and write about it. [/QUOTE]
