Rebore or Rebarrel?
I recently picked a Winchester Model 70 in 7mm STW. I am considering turning the rifle into a 300 H&H. My quandry concerns weather to rebore/rechamber the exsisting barrel or to just go for a new barrel.

This rifle is the "Classic" form and it matches my 416 Safari Classic pretty well. I believe this would make a very nice African battery when completed and it seems nearly impossible to find a Win Mod 70 at a reasonable price, so when this rifle came available at a good price I immediatey thought of the conversion.

I appreicate all thoughts here. If you suggest a rebore, do you have recommendations for this work.

Jim Dubell and his company Clearwater reboring. Very top quality work. Only downside that I see to a rebore is the barrel caliber marking.
