I have a standard long action 700 action (30-06)and a 700 375 H&H barrel. Is open up the bolt face all you have to do?

Sure! If you want a single shot!

If you want the low down, jeffeosso will be able to enlighten you on it exactly. He is a 'smith, not me. By the way, from his project photos a pretty good one too!

Yes, it can be done.. assuming it's a long action, bolt, mag box, etc,,,, but better guys than me posted about exactly this conversion in gunsmithing about a week ago

Here is a discussion on the same issue last week in gunsmithing.
