[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1838074, member: 93895"] I really like the looks of the wood stock on the Patriot. Yours has a standard size bolt head. Which, it may be interchangeable like a Savage. I haven't looked closely enough at the Patriot to remember it it's a floating bolt head. It can be rebarreled, I'm not sure that it could be rechambered. It's a 10 twist barrel that you have and it likely wouldn't do well with the heavier bullets. Different gunsmiths will have different opinions of what to do. Some may tell you it's not going to be economical, another one who is more likely to think outside the box my take the project on. Sometimes it's hard to recoup any of what you spend if it's not a 700, Winchester 70, tikka or a custom action. But if you plan on keeping it, then all that doesn't necessarily matter. [/QUOTE]
