I have a 7mm RUM that I want to re-chamber to a 300 RUM. Can a good gunsmith drill out the barrel to .308? I do not have any exprince with this kind of thing. Thanks

No! But there are those folks that rebore barrels such as yours. Winkroger


Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Yes, your barrel can be re-bored.

I recommend you make a post on the Gunsmithing Forum and ask about technical & economic aspects of reboring vs rebarreling. Also ask for recommendations of who to use for reboring.
