Remington 798 / .470AR rebarrel ---
A quick question about converting this new Remington/ZASTAVA action to .470AR.

I rememeber something about it being easy/easier to convert the rifle if it came in 7mm Rem.Mag. in the first place...

If I were to buy a 798 and get another bbl., I was considering replacing it with one made in stainless steel.
I'm wanting to know if this is a good idea, and what length the bbl. should be.

Would someone clear this up for me, please?
Thanks. Smiler

it'll be a simple rebarrel and feed ramp work.

the 7rem, as mentioned, was the ruger 77 mkII, which has a HUGE feeding ramp
