[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2395442, member: 118816"] I actually did take a model 70 with a shot out barrel and had it re-barreled to 7.62 MM (not .308) There were no adjustments needed, the long action bolt and magazine worked just as good with the 7.62 as they did with the 30-06. That rifle won a lot of 600 yard NRA matches and despite it's 12 pound weight caused a lot of deer to become venison steaks and sausage. It really liked the Nosler 168 gr and Sierra 168 grain match. I used 165 gr Nosler partitions when hunting. There was no change of zero. I will however say that all changes to a rifle may be as successful as this one was. [/QUOTE]
