DTalaaction question...
which of these guns can be rebarreled to 375H&H
1. Rem 700 7mmRM
2. Win 70 300WM
3. Ruger 77 270Win
thanks in advance, troy
1. and 2. will be easier to convert (no change to the bolt face or extractor). However, with either 1. or 2. it is likely you'll have to get a different magazine (or remove the block in the current magazine) to be able to fit the longer cartridge. You may also have to fiddle with getting the .375 H&H to feed properly.
The M70 may also need a different boltstop, to be able to withdraw the bolt far enough to make sure the longer .375 H&H cartridge can be picked up from the magazine. I don't know how a M700 fares in this respect?

vapodogThe Remington 700 (in all likelyhood) can be converted with simply a new barrel.....nothing else.
