[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1216927, member: 12995"] To a competent gunsmith, this would not be a difficult job, and is a very common job. Opening the bolt face and the feed rails is not a big deal. However, it would be best to start out with a magnum action, since the only thing that would need to be changed is the barrel, and opening the feel rails. I'd say go buy cheap used magnum BDL, and keep your .280 action as well, and build you a custom on it later. A paid-for 700 action is a paid-for 700 action. As long as it sits in your safe, it's not going to go bad...They don't have an expiration date. :cool: [/QUOTE]
