What calibers could a Remington 700 BDL be rechambered to with out major work to the bolt. It is currently a 7mm mag.

Just rechambering would be a 7mm STW or 7mm ultra. That I know of anyway. Not counting any wildcats that is.

Without rebarreling I assume.....

RMiller has the good ones...one can also do the 7MM Weatherby but I'm not sure why he'd do that!

If rebarreling is an option as the title suggests there's a whole lot of things available.

From 458 Lott to 257 weatherby.
Was there a chambering you had in mind?

No specific chambering in mind I have two Mausers now I am working on one in 30-06 and 7 X57. I thought I might do something else with the 700 as I am not really a fan of belted cartridges. But not having worked with the Remington I am not sure if the bolt face would have to be modified if I get away from the belted cartridges. Rebarreling is the plan Confused

Any of the new "Ultra-Mags" would work on your boltface.
