[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 527474, member: 12995"] Hey folks, sorry I've been gone for a while, but I have a few questions about a gun I hope to be getting. The gun is a Remington 700 Sendero in .25-06 (long-action), with a Swarovski AV 4-12x50 on top. I have never owned a .25-06, and the rifling in the barrel looks to be a fair-bit worn down. The gun has been well shot (judging by looking at it, but the action still locks up tight as a tick's butt. The HS stock looks great, the bolt looks good, and the Swaro scope looks clear as crystal. Here is where my questions begin... I always wanted a Remington 700 in .257 Weatherby Mag (my favorite whitetail caliber). What all extensive work will need to be done to convert this gun to a .257 Wby Mag, other than the barrel? Will the bolt-face have to be opened up? Is it even possible to convert from a .25-06 to a .257 Wby while using the standard long-action? Thanks guys Austin [/QUOTE]
