[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 448492, member: 2736"] Find a good gunsmith that will replace the barrel in 280 rem and that will be all you will need. The 280 is a great long range caliber and has less recoil (Much) than a 30/06 and doesn't need a break. Later on if you want a break you could have the smith install one if your budget doesn't allow for one now. The 280 is simply a 30/06 necked down to 7mm and with lots of bullet choices and factory ammo it is capable of 1000 yard shots. The 700 action is a great one to build on and you already have it. With proper truing and a new barrel it should exceed all of your expectations. All of this should come well under your budget to. Just a suggestion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
