[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1246147, member: 90674"] I don't believe the bolt face is too hard to match. I think it's the 0.532", which is shared by the 7m RM, 300 Win M, ect. So, probably easy enough to find some long action magnum donor rifle, and re-barrel it. I probably would go with a re-barrel instead of just reaming out a 7mm RM to a 28 Nos, because you might not be happy with the twist of a factory barrel. I'd look at replacing the barrel with a 1:8 twist. No slower than a 1:9, or you are selling yourself sort on some of the longer, heavier bullets available. Also look for an action with lots of length in the magazine. Rem 700's are pretty generous. You'll want to have room to seat the bullets out farther if you want. So, you could probably do a build that wouldn't be too expensive. [/QUOTE]
