Hi there, I have a Remington Model 700 ADL which is chambered in 7 Rem Mag. I would like to re-barrel this rifle to another chambering as I already have 2 other 7 Rem Mag rifles. I own rifles chambered in .223 Remington, .22/250 Ackley Improved, .25/06 Remington, .260 Remington, 6.5 x 55 Swedish, .300 Winchester Magnum, 8 x 57 Mauser, 9.3 x 62 Mauser and .45/70 Government. What am I missing?
.338 Winchester Magnum perhaps.
 
33 Nosler. :E Strong::D
 
338win mag or since I already had one I rebarreled my 7mag to 264win mag. Best thing I ever did. It does everything the 7mag did but easier to shoot.
 
Considering that you have a long action and a .532" boltface; there are a lot of cartridges that could be used with very little more than a new barrel. Any long magnum is within reach- take your pick.
 
270 WBY - 7mm STW- 358 STA-340 WBY -30X338 WM and the list goes on
 
I had 2 Rem 700 in 7mm RM. rebarreled one to 340 Wby. Got rid of the 338 WM. Took the 340 to Alaska [5] and Africa [5] . Best move. Replaced the Rem extracter with a Sako. Two of the PH commented on the effectiveness of the 340.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
