Hi, I have the opportunity to buy a 1980 vintage M70, cal. 300WM at a good price; I plan to rebarrel it in a bigger caliber, let's say, 338 WM or 340 Weath. Does the action/magazine can hold the (longer) Weath. cartridge? Will I experience feeding issues? Thanks. | ||

You will need to keep the OAL to factory specs with the 340. | |||

Dirk, due to the stupid italian gun law, my choice of caliber is VERY limited. Doug, I will likely choose the 338 then. | |||

I don't see why the 340 wouldnt work, it should be the same OAL as a 300 Wby and I have a M70 of about the same vintage in that caliber. Now the 338-378, THATS a different story If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter! | |||

Do you mean .300 Weatherby Mag or Winchester Mag? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill | |||
