The world is your oyster!

You can convert to all the cartridges already mentioned, plus the 6mm-06 and .375-06, the Ackley Improved versions of the .25-06, 6.5-06, .270, .280, .338-06, .35 Whelens.

If you change the bolt nose, you can rebarrel to cases with the .378" head (.17 Rem., .223, etc.), or the .531"-.532" head (.300 Win. Mag., .338 RUM, .416 Rem. Mag., etc.

You'll have to get the correct followers and magazine boxes in some cases.

I forgot to mention I was looking at keeping the bolt face the same and the least amount of work to make it feed properly...

Thanks for the info you guys...

Don't forget the smaller calibers with the same size bolthead. Such as the 22-250 Rem. You could really seat heavyweight bullets out long with that long action.
