So I'm checking the gun rack at a local pawn shop and spy an old 700 in 30-06. "What'll you take for it?", I ask. $250. SOLD!
After I get 20+ years of crud and dust off it, inside and out, I've got an immaculate 700 standard action made in 1981. It cleaned up nice. I was gonna trade it off but now I'm thinkin..........custom????
Had my heart set on a .338 WM for an AK/Elk rifle. So what do I do? Trade up for a mag action or rebarrel? ALSO, I have a VX-III 4.5X14 with the BC reticle available, so if I rebarrel I'd like to be able to utilize that trajectory. (Which is basically 200 zero, -7@300, -20@400, -29.5@450, -41@500).
For background, got 270, 06, 300. I'm thinkin 30-06 AI, or maybe 338-06, or 338-06AI. I've heard people have had feeding problems with the AIs, not good for an AK rifle. Anybody got a 338-06??
ALL INPUT APPRECIATED, ANYTHING POSSIBLE!!
Thanks gentlemen.
