[QUOTE="RyanTrials, post: 884966, member: 74292"] Thanks for all the info guys! I really want to learn all the specifics that go into this. I've had a hard time finding much info on it. I'd have to imagine even the magazine spring feeder floorplate would have to change also? It's tough to decide whether to trick this rifle out or not, I will always be limited by .323 bullets and the light contour barrel, although maybe i can get really good groups with the current barrel if i upgrade the stock and glass bed it. I think changing the barrel and/or caliber would be too much, id probably be better off getting another rifle. I have no idea what finding a bull barrel for 8mm rem mag would cost, i have to assume not cheap. at the least i want to get a new stock and bed it (so i don't risk screwing up the old original nice wooden stock) So, to pick out a new stock for my rifle what am i limited to? Are stocks designed specific for each chambering? or just long/short action? [/QUOTE]
