[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1503735, member: 12995"] I thought the M70 had a longer magazine box than that...Similar to a Rem 700 @ 3.65"... You might need to keep the M70 original and get you a Rem 700 LA donor in .270 or .30-06, and build from there. Also, look into the .280 Sherman. It will get you the most performance from a standard bolt face long action cartridge. It will put down numbers similar to the 7mm RemMag. It's basically a .280 AI that's been improved even more. You use .270 Win brass to form for it. I also wouldn't go less than a 26" barrel for optimal performance. You can even use your current 7mm blank you already have for it. One last thing, the new Berger 175 Elite Hunters would do exactly what you're asking, but have a MUCH higher BC than the Barnes or Accubond. [/QUOTE]
