[QUOTE="Roeder, post: 1035395, member: 87340"] If you do decide to rebarrel and change to a cartridge that uses a larger diameter cartridge, a lot of additional work is entailed. The bolt face needs to be opened up to the larger diameter and a new extractor cut needs to be machined as the standard Remington extractor will not work. The magazine set up needs to be addressed either by altering the feed rails and changing the magazine box or by installing a center feed magazine. It is certainly possible and done all the time, but it may be more economical to start with a new or used magnum action and sell the old one. [/QUOTE]
