[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 468459, member: 6641"] The bolt face will be fine for any of the cartridges you mentioned. I like the short mags on long actions as you get to seat out further and can get the chamber setup to maximize that. The feed rails may have to be tweaked a bit for good feeding. What are your goals with the gun? I would pick either a WSM or RUM case and skip the belted mags but this is absolutely just MY preference. The 7RM or 7STW can still be made into great rifles. Kirby is close to GreatFalls and you can save yourself a lot of BS with shipping and packing by using a "local" smith. $50 shipping both ways will probably cover the gas. [/QUOTE]
