[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3970018, member: 48072"] I'm going to suggest a different route and have the rifle rebarreled into a more common cartridge (.270 / .30-06). It is the most expensive route, but you get to keep grandpa's gun, and ammo will much easier to find since you don't reload. Or, you can have a .308 Win chambered barrel spun up on it too. Just because it is a standard/long action doesn't mean you can't put a short action cartridge into it...Although I'd caveat that by suggesting that cartridges with steeper shoulder angles may give a bit more potential to feeding issues. ^ I have a rebuilt M24 (U. S. Army/Air Force sniper rifle) that is a .308 on a 700 long action...never had an issue with feeding or extraction myself. [/QUOTE]
